Just a stupid law. If someone wants to contend for a Darwin award, let 'em do so freely. Silly stuff like this wasting court time. It's why it takes years for legit cases to be resolved.

He was also driving on a suspended license. Seat belts reduce the severity of injuries since not wearing one doesn’t always result in a fatality after a wreck. When someone goes to the hospital with extreme injuries the hospital has to treat them. That treatment costs a lot of money. If the person being treated can’t pay then the hospital has to eat the cost. They make up for that by raising the rates for the people that can pay. So in the end the responsible people get to pay for the stupid people

You think the same courts and judges who handle traffic tickets also handle the high profile violent crime cases? And this is the reason why a case may take 2 years to get to trial? Well bless your heart....

Driving correctly and not having "accidents" reduces injuries more. Driving in the rain/fog with no headlights reduces "accidents". Driving impaired is infinitely more dangerous. Seat belt laws do nothing to reduce that. With the majority of drivers having insurance, through multibillion dollar companies, seat belt laws were pushed by them to improve their bottom line, reduce their liability, allow larger mansions for executives. We all see many many many more situations that are "accident potential" every time we venture forth in our vehicles. None of us look at the car next to us and comment on their seat belt issue. It's an easy ticket and a probable cause to pull over someone without any other violation, never know when Roscoe P Coltrane might get that big drug bust on his record.

Those same judges can and do handle other cases depending on absences by filling in. So, if instead of 5 days a week of time on seat belts, jaywalking, missing taillight, tires too wide, etc. They could have maybe 2 days, less even, and the other days handle more important cases and clear backlog, or their simply wouldn't be a need to have as many personnel working on taxpayer money handling petty fines. People having to miss work days to sit for 4 hours for a 2 minute show receipt. Filling up detention centers and arraignment times with those who didn't pay a frivalous ticket. Smaller prisons, etc. Less taxes even if things worked right. Sounds good to me.

Yep. We have enough to deal with in our court/legal system. Something like a silly seat belt citation is akin to going to the ER for a pimple on your ass. I'm not equating traffic court with serious trials. Just pointing out that our resources would be better spent on other, more serious issues than giving out citations for seat belt violations. Just another way to grab a buck from the citizenry. Ridiculous law.

I've seen women putting on makeup, everyone is on a cell phone while driving, and folks even eat while behind the wheel. Very few folks today even know where a damned turn signal on their vehicle is located much less use it. Maybe if folks were more focused on the road, accidents would go down and this seat belt issue wouldn't be as "critical" as our legal system makes it out to be? And don't get me started on how little steel is in the automobiles of today. We're driving in high speed aluminum cans thanks to the wisdom of big brother and his regulatory demands.

BTW, I’ve seen you on this board a long time— you live in Dalton, GA?

I was driving in Dalton earlier this week, stopped at traffic light and I hear a horn beeping. I start looking around and a car pulls up beside me and gives me a thumbs up and a go Vols. I’m sure it was because of the Power T stickers I have on my back window. I loved it.

Also, we definitely know each other Smo.

Not me. This team is on a nice roll, but let's not pretend UT is better than it really is. I'd prefer Missouri be tired, beat up, suspended, etc. I want 7 wins and will take any stroke of luck for us or misfortune for the opponent I can get. Don't care about excuses. I want the win any way this team can get it.

Crap happens to teams all the time. But Nance isn't going to be suspended for a seat belt violation. That would be stupid.

To your point though, let's not pretend that Mizzou is better than it really is. Mizzou NEVER belonged in the conversation for the East or upper tier of the SEC this year... if ever. Remember what happened to them in the CG each time they "won" the East by default?

There are plenty of laws out there that seem as though time could be better spent enforcing other offenses but I’m curious, if having a seatbelt law in place can save just one life is it worth it to you?

Here is a quote on the story from the local Columbia, Missouri newspaper on Friday, "Nance is expected to dress out and be available to play for the Tigers against Tennessee on Saturday night, a team spokesman said Friday afternoon. "

Personally I think anyone who thinks we steamroll Mizzou is looking thru Orange shaded glasses. This is probably going down to last minutes and I've never hoped I'm wrong as much as this game.
I was born in Missouri and really want to beat their azz!!

Apparently Nance will be dressed and play on Saturday against Tennessee. Here is a quote from the Columbia Missouri Tribune on Friday, "Nance is expected to dress out and be available to play for the Tigers against Tennessee on Saturday night, a team spokesman said Friday afternoon. "
