I love moving traffic offences.
They make clearups and detections it is in essence the footwork of todays policing.
If only Magistrates and Judges would, or even could, say that. The message might just get through occasionally.
But surely all of us long for the day when "Being stupid in a public place" is a crime?
Surely that is a message we don't want to get through. Ideally i'd like no criminals at all. But having stupid and easily caught criminals is better than having cunning and difficult to catch ones.
In Italy you can buy t-shirts with a seatbelt printed on them. At a distance it fools the police.
thats funny I like it
Harry ,
Its the silver buckle still above the drivers right ear that we look for.
Its a giveaway ..
wel tehy can jsut get giant metel earwigs.
Arizona has a new 'stupid motorist' law, does anyone know if there is an equivalent over here? (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/

And I was always told by my parents that it was a £1000 fine for no seatbelt! Lies to children...
I suppose the public nuisance is the closest to I figure

I've been stopped (a long time ago) in an illegal car, with a large quantity of drugs hidden in an empty special brew can of all places (yes, I know) under the back seat and been let off with an admonition to 'get this heap sorted out' cos we admired the constable's shiny new bike & asked him about his motorcycle touring holiday. There's a lot to be said for being nice to the police folks!
A friend of mine is a motorway traffic cop in Hertfordshire. He always likes it when somebody goes flashing past at 100 mph+ and doesn't slow down. He reckons that more than half the time there'll be something way more dodgy about the car and its occupants than merely speeding. Also, it gives him the chance to blue it and put hid foot down 
LOL! So rather than go to the effort of clicking in a seatbelt, they'd rather put on a t-shirt with a picture of one on it? OK my family is Italian, and I always did think they were mad, now I know it is the entire country that is bonkers!
Before the law made it that you had to have seatbelts in the back, I was sitting in the back of a Mark I mini stopped at a pedistrian crossing when the car behind us didn't stop. Although it wasn't going very fast (the driver was looking at a group of young girls on the pavement - honestly, that is what he said to the police officer who turned up) it was enough to throw the two of us in the back with enough force to injure the two people in the front. So since then, I've never gone anywhere in a car with out a seatbelf firmly on, and I insist on anyone sitting behind me to do the same.
I also really hate it when someone gives the excuse of 'oh I don't need to put one on do I? I trust you' to the driver. Well, yeah, maybe you do but all
.... but all the car accidents I've been in have been caused by other drivers!
Gipsy - how many of the accidents that you have been in have been caused by attractive women??
Attractive women are the most criminal ferr group on earth, except maybe Hasidic Rabbis. One almost never sees either in court charged with a crime.
