Cops all over & a ticket was given!

[Kracka]

Seatbelts are much like motorcycle helmets; they'll save you 90% of the time but 10% of the time you might sustain more injuries than w/o (figures are aprox). I go with the odds and keep wearing my belt and keep wearing my helmet. I think it would be very fair for insurance rates to rise for anyone given a seatbelt ticket, involved in a car crash w/o wearing a belt, or involved in a motorcycle accident while not wearing a helmet. On a side note, I was in a car accident about 5 years ago (I was sitting in the backseat), and had I been wearing my seatbelt my head would not have smashed out a window nearly slicing my ear off (a tiny flap of skin was all that was keeping it dangling there, they stitched it back on but I have a scar).
