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.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
