Support growing for seat belt law

Efforts to make "Click It or Ticket" more than just a slogan have shifted into a higher gear after a deadly holiday weekend on the roads.

it's not about your well being like these phonies want you to believe but rather the money the fines will bring in to support there salaries and expenses and protect there political cronies who hold other government jobs!!!!!

A Seat Belt Law is only going to work if people follow it. clearly the speed limit didn't work. laws will NOT help.

[why]

Get a law on the books under the guise of making us safe. It is an old story. Freedom vs. Safety.

congratulations for hitting the nail on the head ! let's not forget the campaign money these sleazebag politicians get from the insurance companies.

Whatever. If people had common sense, we wouldn't need these stupid laws. When people learn they can't talk on a cell phone, eat a bagel and drink a coffee at the same time and drive, maybe they'll figure out the seatbelt law. I am a supporter of the the Law; mainly because I don't want to waste my tax dollars on State Police Overtime for Rconstruction to figure out why you hamburg in a road.

don't forget the propaganda from the news media. ever notice when they report an accident where high speed, drugs or alcohol were involved they never fail to throw in the ditty - " and he wasn't wearing a seatbelt". duh ! think they would ever have the nerve to report a fatality caused because someone was trapped by their seatbelt ? there was a close case of a gitl almost burned, trapped in a car in dutchess co. about a month ago.
