I am never drinking and driving again

BIG_DADDY · 05-31-2005, 11:33 AM

At least I say that now. Got pulled over for DUI yesterday with my dog in the truck going ballistic. I was getting ready to move so I had been drinking Makers Mark and smoking cigars all day. I must have smelt terrible. The officer immediatly smelled it on me and called for backup. I was right at the intersection of 92 and 101 probably the busiest place I could possible be pulled over. 30 minutes later in what felt like 2 hours in a never ending sobriety tests I drove away. I am thanking my lucky stars today.

How much is the fine for no seat belt in Cali? In Oklahoma it is $20.

BD, did the officer say anything about it being an administrative seat belt ticket?

When I first moved back to San Diego in 01, I got a seatbelt ticket. The officer even told me it was a 35 dollar administrative seatbelt ticket.

The second time I got one, it was over 100 bucks. The total fine was 300, but that was coupled with a tint ticket. So there is a difference.

Congrats on getting outta that jam. Seltbelt laws can blow me. Although, I almost always wear mine anymore. Too many fuggin idiots out on the road.

Edit - Lord, this thread is two years old

Might as well blame Bob Dole's wife and the auto industry while you're at it.

Who gives a shit that polls prior to the first such law in 1985 showed more than 75% of the population opposed the damned things. If anyone ever needed a case study of the insidious nature of the legislative process, seat belt laws are it.

I hate seat belts and won't wear them.

May I suggest putting them on if you have had anything to drink?

My new car has sensors in the seats so it "knows" when someone is sitting in them. If you sit in the seat and don't fasten your seatbelt, it beeps.

And beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps.

There's no way to shut it off that I've found.

The day after I got the car I put my laptop on the seat on my way to work. My car started beeping incessantly. I thought "it's brand-****ing now, how could it be broken already". I finally realized that my laptop was just heavy enough to fool the sensor into thinking a person was sitting there.

And while Bob Dole is sitting here at lunch watching another damned seat belt commercial, Bob Dole would like to point out that the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on this enforcement campaign might actually have helped reduce traffic fatalities if it had been spent to FIX THE ****ING ROADS.

It's just weird having the cops working for the insurance companies on our tax dollars. Just ain't right.
