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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
