interesting
It is interesting that you should post this today .. my Dad (who is 83/84 in January) just got a ticket for not wearing his seatbelt. Now keep in mind the man nearly never leaves the small rural town we live in; if he goes over 30 mph I'd be shocked;he is furious over the cop giving him a ticket; he has a pacemaker and is so thin that if he wore the seatbelt and was restrained by it as it sits across his chest- I think it'd kill him -- the airbag is another debate.
So I was thinking of looking for some info regarding seatbelt "laws" -- he is very alert and intelligent, don't let his age fool you! He just can't hear worth a damned from years of factory work. The ticket may 'only' be 55 FRN's, but that 70 too many in my opinion.
So what do ya think? He was, of course, 'released on appearance" and is to go in to court on the 17th. I am afraid with all the prejudice against older drivers the 'judge' may try to get him to jump through hoops here. His driving record is 99% clean -- he had a chargable accident over 35 years ago.
Thoughts?
