90% to the State and 10% to the court of venue. You do realize how ridiculous you look.....right? Whatcha expect from a dumb ass cop? He thinks there's different cookie jars that the cash goes? His local PD doesn't receive state funding? It sure receives Fed funding as it pays his OT. Where do these people think the money comes from? Pennies from Heaven?

$125 or so out here.
Staters are the only cock suckers bored enough to pull you for it. They love it.
Been stopped a few times for it. Once in a parking lot, putting it on before I pulled out on the road!
Always staters. Clowns.
City cops have enough to do. They just wave.

The only thing as stupid as a seatbelt law, is an open container law.
Good luck finding a politician with enough sense to admit it.

90% to the State and 10% to the court of venue. That's wild that you don't receive any money from the state, but pretty shrewd to send money to the court. That has to be a plus when the judge remembers who is buttering their bread if an officer ever ends up in front of them for a divorce hearing or anything else.

I don't wear one and I won't wear one. Got pulled over for speeding last year and wasn't wearing my seat belt. I was polite, a rareity for me. Cop says I could write you a ticket for no seat belt and I said you can write me two cause tomorrow when I come through here I ain't gonna be wearin one then either with a chuckle. He handed me my license and say go on while shaking his head. Nice guy, guess my honesty was refreshing.

Biggest PITA was when a couple of Sheriffs' Deputies on motorcycles would sit in the center divider on the road from the poor neighborhood to my school in the morning traffic, just nailing folks for sticker and seatbelt violations. And those seatbelt tickets were expensive, especially so or people living where they lived.
I dunno they "saved any lives". Prob'ly more'n a few kids ended up walking to school after that and they didn't help the image of Cops any. Or maybe not too much harm; nobody confused these guys with the SAPD.
SAPD DOES sit out in front of elementary and middle schools, enforcing the twice a day 20mph speed limit. But nobody minds that.

I think there should be a minimum speed of at least 80 MPH through school zones, you could get rid of the dumb ones early and avoid putting them on the taxpayer dole.

How exactly is a school bus seat "more confining"? They are open benches.
Sounds like you must not have ridden on school buses...they are high-backed, rigid seats, closely spaced so there is little opportunity for objects (bodies) to move very far in a sudden deceleration. How does �more solidly constructed� make things better on the object striking it? The object (person) striking it is secondary to the fact that that object is less likely to become a 100 lb missile capable of impacting others closer to the point of vehicle impact. Don�t think I have ever heard increased stopping distance listed as a positive in passenger safety either. Same principal as why a parachute is generally a safer way to jump out of a plane; instant deceleration tends to be quite �bruising� . Could you explain why the strobe light on top of the bus(impairing the vision of any drivers near the bus) is a good idea? Probably not a good thing for those with ADD/ADHD disorders. Not staring at it works reasonably well for the rest however, similar to not looking into the headlights of oncoming traffic at night. The strobe point kind of begs the question of why those �blue� super-bright halogen headlamps are legal though. Motorcycle riders probably have better survival chances if they can get free from their wreck; their odds simply aren�t very good when you think about it. Then it makes zero sense to permit folks to drive motorcycles if car drivers have to wear seat belts. Cars make zero sense compared to semis or buses also; so also two lane highways compared to divided highways. I not at all crazy about sharing the roads with motorized bikes; I wouldn�t do it and certainly don�t want to paste someone on one, but I�m not going to suggest that you shouldn�t be allowed to ride one.

You're missing my point. It's that the seat belt laws make no logical sense if you still allow motorcycles (whose riders cannot wear seat belts) on the road. It's an argument against seat belt laws, and I think it's a pretty insurmountable one. It only fails because logic doesn't prevail in the creation of laws.

In the same universe, how logically and justly do you both fine car drivers who don't wear seat belts and permit motorcyclists (who can't wear them) on the same roads with them? If you're fining car drivers for not being safe, how much less safe are motorcyclists? That amounts to fines for being a little unsafe, and no fines for being a lot unsafe.
Clearly, then, it's not about safety. It's about revenue generation.

It ain't about revenue it's about politicians thinking they need to babysit the voters and the worst part is a lot of voters like it that way.

Correct. Politicians like to believe that they are taking care of, not oppressing, you.
