the fine is fine, its the insurance hit I'm trying to avoid, hopefully the state patrol will be a no show and I'm free -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 13, 12:16 24
- whhy would you not wear your seat belt? -- nm - decline Oct 13, 12:16 23
  - FWIW, in my last wreck...had I been wearing a seatbelt, I'd likely be dead. nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:34 2
    - and if i hadn't been in my last one, at least, i may well have been. -- nm - b. Oct 13, 12:37
    - Conversely, if I had not been wearing mine, I would be dead right now. -- nm - decline Oct 13, 12:36

    - well for the record my compliance with seatbelt wearing has increased to near 100% - zeitgeist Oct 13, 12:25 6
      - Just say that to the judge. "I didn't wear my seatbelt. I've learned my lesson. It was wrong." - Inigo Oct 13, 12:27 5
        
        "then stop wasting my time and pay the fine." -- nm - me, if I'm a judge Oct 13, 12:28 4
        
        Pleading guilty got my signficant speeding reduced to not speeding, thus not affecting my insurance.. -- nm - Max Oct 13, 12:30
        
        Completel honesty is such a rarity in court that judges usually reward it. - Inigo Oct 13, 12:30 1
        
        yes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:34

  - I was just rolling around the neighborhood going to garage sales jumping in and out every block or so -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 13, 12:18 10
    - Oh, that's fine then. Be sure to tell the dick who t-bones your car that you were just rolling around the neighborhood. - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 12:22 8
      - the IM is about the most misleading statement in the world. most accidents happen close to home because most driving happens close to home. -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 12:30 6
        
        why is that misleading? -- nm - b. Oct 13, 12:33 3
        
        it's commonly used as evidence that people are more careless close to their homes. -- nm - Reagen Oct 13, 12:34 2
        
        huh, i can't recall ever seeing it used that way. to my recollection, i've always seen it with the reasoning mafic gave. -- nm - b. Oct 13, 12:36
        
        they might be. you'd have to run calculations. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:36
