This Is A Game Changer

[Gluemanz28]

This is a game changer for those that easily forget to let say put their pants on before leaving the house or fasten their seatbelt. Also works great for the anti-establishment ain't telling me to wear no seatbelt.

Place your Christmas orders now for the ones you love the most.

I think the long sleeve model would also function as a tourniquet in case a accident.. You know the advantage of wearing a seat belt.. vs the one someone put on with a felt tip marker..

is there a matching hat with a bloodied and smashed skull

 

[BogWalker]

Heard tell from LEO of people taking a section of seatbelt and glueing it to their shirt before.

 

[printcraft]

Can the .gov please come and install hand rails and safety straps in my bathroom, for my safety.

 

[Alpo]

Probably should be made of Kevlar for protection when exiting the windshield at a high M * V.

 

[HoughMade]

The perfect gift for the guy who won't let the gubmint tell him what to do...and who wants to keep that to himself.

how about just wearing the seatbelt?

Why go through such trouble to break the law?

There is absolutely no room for common sense in this thread Mister!

Ever heard of the Denny Award

No but maybe there is a hat to match that says "Freedom". The shirt isn't about actually keeping you safer. It's making a stand against getting our freedoms taken away by the day by our leaders "for our own good".

We sacrifice many more freedoms for security and soon will have neither. But i agree that people should wear their dang seatbelt

I started wearing my seatbelt shortly after I started driving, long before it was the law, because I was riding with a maniac.

I started wearing mine when I got a car ('73 Plymouth Satellite) that wouldn't stop "dinging" until you fastened it, unlike today's cars that stop after a few seconds. Oh sure I could have buckled it behind me but well, that just seemed silly. As someone who has survived two head-on collisions with only minor injuries, I'm kind of glad I got in the habit.

Some people can never be convinced that forcing or coercing others to do what is best for them is wrong.

My thoughts on the subject...

1. I had an uncle who died in a car crash at 37 years old not wearing a seat belt, and I doubt it would have made any difference given the amount of damage done and the fact that it involved a convertible stood on its head.

2. That same uncle survived a crash at 25 in which wearing a seatbelt would have killed him as the steering wheel was driven through the back of his seat.

3. I am of the belief that regardless of the merit of wearing a seat belt it is none of the government's business nor its authority to require it of me. As a result:

a. My inclination (or lack thereof) regarding the merit of seatbelt use did not influence me.
b. The law did not influence me.
c. Tickets did not influence me.
d. A handful of state troopers making fun of me about my tickets in a crowded restaurant did not influence me.

4. I am not invulnerable to outside influences. A company for which I worked in the past was owned by two brothers one of which has 4 daughters and no sons, and I for a time functioned as the big brother in the family. The subject came up with the oldest daughter (at a time when I was spending a lot of time with her at home while she was recovering from an emergency appendectomy and needed plenty of attention) and the subject came up. She wouldn't let me off the hook until I promised her that I would use a seat belt from then on. Especially given how few people there are in the world who really give a damn whether I am alive or dead, how could I say no, regardless of my opinion, even if she would have let me off the hook (and she wouldn't)? Consequently, I religiously wear a seat belt.

yup.

yup.

I believe that the _requirement_ is wrong.

That said, I wear one.

 

[AA&E]

I have a 1970 MGB and get pulled over in it fairly often for the assumed seatbelt violation. 1970 British vehicles were only equipped with lap belts, and they are perfectly legal.

Agreed on both points.
