Click it or Ticket...Primary seatbelt law to pass.

[GoldenPlump]

What a coincidence, was on my way to Methodist Hospital to visit my mum and 1 block away I saw a new camry turn in front of a minivan, they collided at about 30MPH.

Both drivers were a little banged up, old lady in the camry hurt her neck pretty bad but they will be fine. Both were wearing seatbelts and I'm 100% positive it helped them avoid further injury.

It was sad, 1 block from Methodist hospital yet it took 10 minutes for a firetruck and ambulance to arrive, and from HCMC?!?

No its to PROTECT MY HARD EARNED DOLLAR from you stupid fucks who refuse to wear a seatbelt.

Just like I'm all for government stepping in and regulating the food industry to KEEP YOU UNHEALTHY FAT FUCKS FROM DRIVING UP MY HEALTHCARE COSTS.

I'm not at all fat, I excercise daily, I eat healthy as hell...Why the fuck should I be paying for Fatty Patty McFatFat's multiple heart attacks and quadruple bypass?

You are assuming people against this law don't wear their seatbelts. That's a stupid assumption.

You are also assuming dying from a heart attack at 60 will be cheaper than dying of something else at 85. Not only a stupid assumption, but probably 180 from reality. The longer you live the more you cost.

Really, legislation should not be based on emotional, poorly thought out assumptions.

[GoldenPlump]

Stay out of the collective then. If you are low risk buy less insurance instead of forcing everyone to live your lifestyle.

That is the most retarded thing ever.

I like a LOT of insurance so that if I do have some major problem I'd like it to be covered. I haven't had a single automobile accident...do I run the state minimums for insurance? Fuck no! In any major personal injury accident they would write me a check for $50,000 which would be a drop in the bucket if I needed surgery.

Insurance should be for the wise, not the people bordering on mental retardation who are too stupid to make good choices.

If you are too stupid to watch your health, fuck off, you should have super high premiums.
If you are too stupid to wear your seatbelt, fuck off and pay for your own medical expenses.

Gotta love some of you guys on this forum....Make everyone else pay for your dumb decisions instead of taking it upon yourself to reduce the burden on everyone else.

It's NO DIFFERENT than you guys supporting welfare moms who crank out kids left and right. You want less burden on yourself? Have less kids.

Your chances of having a heart attack at 60 and living is actually pretty good.
Your chances of having a heart attack at 85 and living is very low...Odds are you will be dead within hours.

MaxPower hit the nail on the head. The ONLY reason is becuse of 'extortion' from Fed Highway $$. The same reason why we're a 0.08 BAC state

If that is indeed the case for the STATE I'd like to know what the case is for the FEDERAL government for offering this?

Please STFU on a subject you have no knowledge of. It's better that you don't remove all doubt

You really love government coercion don't you. Last I checked, higher risk people do pay more. Get a DWI and see how much your insurance goes up. I pay more just because I'm under 25 even though I have no accidents or tickets. You can thank me for lowering your rate.

OK OK OK! How about this one, You have GREAT chances of surviving a heart attack at 85 but shitty chances of surviving one at 60.

You are absolutely retarded.

Yeah that's if the insurance company was lucky enough to find out about the shit a driver did. It's retarded that they have to pay out tons of money when someone crashes at 140mph in their neon or when some asshole doesn't wear their seatbelt.

Then not only do they get fucked there, they get the sorry SOB that the driver hit suing the shit out of the insurance company.

Seriously owning an insurance company would suck balls. You have your insured driver trying to fuck you over every chance they get. Then you have everyone trying to fuck you over because someone other than the insurance company fucked up. Everyone fucks over the insurance company (who in turn fucks over all their other policy holders) because they can't take any responsibility for their own actions.

Google National Transportation Highway Safety Administration and Seat Belt Laws for your reading pleasure. Then you can read regarding states funding, and Primary Offense Seatbelt Violations

I'm sure if it sucked ballz that bad, there would be a few less options for insurance out there

LOL, do you lobby for the insurance companies? They don't have a problem doling out policies like candy because they make shit tons of cash off their scheme of guessing if you are going to crash or not.

Also, I learned in my EMT training that 4 out of 5 deaths from a first heart attack are people 65 and older.

I know I'm a glorified first responder, but it's probably more training than you have on the subject.

Yeah they make a shit ton of money, but they also take in a shit ton of money.

How do they take in a shit ton of money? By how much people pay for their service.

What happens if they are paying out more money than they can afford? They make everyone pay more money.

I'm sorry if this is rocket science for some of you.

You would support legislation to require people eat food that is good for you heart then?
