I think wearing seatbelts are necessary and they do save lives, however being issued with a ticket seems petty when kids are out there being mugged, and people are robbed and seriously injured on trains and buses daily. I would like to see more resources and manpower concentrated on more serious offences.

Indeed, Lozzy.. surely the seat belt law is The Daddy of all modern nanny state laws? A law which is enforced for your own good but has little impact (boom boom) on others if you choose to break it and suffer the consequences*?


*Apart from the weeping relatives and cost of being fed through a tube for forty years, of course.

Perhaps it is, but I agree with it for all the reasons previously given by various forumites.

This freaked me out, posted by a friend on facebook very recently.

Front left is Dan who complained about nanny state laws, and he really stuck it to the man didn't he.

This was taken about 3 months before he graduated and died, what a waste and if his death can mean anything, then for gods sake learn from his self defeating logic.

There's nothing to be gained from not wearing a seatbelt that doesn't involve cutting your life off to spite your face.

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
