how did you get the cop to come

[scottykilmer]

@Mr44centz I set out some doughnuts in my driveway.

Don't kid yourself. Your seat belt can kill you in some situations as well as save you in others. Its big brother BS to force us to wear one. Its nothing more than a plot to condition all you sheeple to do what you're told.

[scottykilmer]

Well, they save you from flying through the windshield, and after knowing people who now don't exist from doing that, I'm wearing my seat belt. Scotty Kilmer

[scottykilmer]

Yes, my breast bone hurt for about three weeks after the shoot with the Convincer. I was dumb enough to ride it for two of the shots, so it REALLY hurt. Scotty Kilmer

i dont understand why we dont just get to chose to not have a seatbelt

it shouldnt be mandatory, it is the persons fault if they dont buckle up, cops just try to find reasons to get money out of our pockets

[Striker090589]

@j0k3r9696 probably to stop people with no insurance from dying so they can pay for the damage caused to other people from their shitty driving

[Mr44centz]

@scottykilmer oh god... lol.

I couldnt imagine some impacts of 70+mph and w/out protections of today, as in much older cars you had no crumple zones, no airbags and only lap belts.. I always wear my safety belt and tell anyone riding w/ me to do the same. I would say the incidence of life-threatening injury/danger from wearing a seat belt is far less than its effectiveness in preventing serious injury/death.

@j0k3r9696 You're telling me its more dangerous to be in a traffic jam than a high speed accident? I sit in the fast lane and go 15km over the limit for the most part. Its dumb, yes, and i'm using more fuel than i should have too, but i'm also impatient. Will I cause an accident? No clue, I may. If you were to do a majority vote, people would probably stick to the current rules of the road. They aren't restrictive at all, wear your seatbelt and follow the speed limit. Its not that bad at all.

[j0k3r9696]

@sacr3 theres the problem, everybody thinks that the roads belong to the government, thats wrong, the roads belong to the people, THE TAXPAYERS.

The truth about the speed limit is that all cars go a certain speed and obviously its not the speed limit because its too slow, going the speed limit is dangerous because that disrupts the flow of traffic due to the driver going too slow. ANSWER ME THIS, HAVE YOU TRIED GOING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE FREEWAY?

[sacr3]

@j0k3r9696 Stripping us of our freedoms? What is this list you have? give me some examples. I think I proved a pretty good point earlier, the roads we drive on was paid and maintained by the government. So, we have the follow the rules on those roads. The rules are simple, Be safe. Speeding (20+ over the limit) does make things more dangerous for other drivers. No Seatbelt does decrease your chance to survive in an accident by a HUGE margin. I don't see where my freedom is being stripped.

[j0k3r9696]

@sacr3 i am not targeting cops, theyre in the boat as you and all of the ignorant people trying to deny the fact that we are being stripped of our freedom just because, "they're keeping us safe". Sadly, they are doing what they are told to do, and that is to bring in as much money as possible, they are not told directly, but have been tricked into thinking they are doing the right thing by "stopping crime", which means giving tickets to "speeders". HONESTLY, WHO GOES THE SPEED LIMIT NOWADAYS?
