How often you click "it" when you are driving? If your answer is "all the time", you could put yourself - and your automobile premium - at risk.
Failure of closing may result in a contravention of, and a single ticket can lead to a greater premium auto insurance.
To reduce the chances of obtaining a ticket for not having to attach, some drivers attempted apology running into hysterical - not to mention dangerous. "It will be wrinkle my dress" to "it is a violation of the rights of my", here are some of the explanations that cops had to do not "click."
The campaigns "Click it or ticket" across the country are designed to encourage motorists to wear a belt."Cops don't wear seat belts."
Richard Weinblatt, former Chief of police in Randleman, N.C., said that "he be wrinkle my dress" and "I have a shoulder injury" are among the apology of non-ceinture, it is understood. But it stands out in particular.
"The worst was, ' well, the cops their belt, then why should I?". "I explained that I always wore a seat belt and noted that I had to unfasten mine out of the car and ask the driver on his," remembers Weinblatt.
In the clear
During a patrol in the New Mexico as Deputy Sheriff for the County of Santa Fe, Weinblatt was fed an excuse rather cringe worthy: a woman told him that she is not wearing a seat belt because she wanted to be thrown clear of the vehicle during rollover.
"I have noted that I had responded to a number of fatal accidents, including a few where the cars capoté and the person who was partially ejected from the vehicle, and they are dead," Weinblatt recalls.
Wound Weinblatt write him a ticket for not wearing a seat belt.
"He could"die ".
Right long enforcement officer H.D. Justice, author of "Confessions of a las vegas motorcop," explains the most memorable apology he gets came in the form of a doctor's note.
"A guy, that I remember especially had no seat belt." He had a doctor's note that said that if he wears a seat belt, it could die. "It literally, 'because of his State of health, if he was wearing his seat belt, he could die,'", explained Justice.
The pilot did not receive a ticket.
"It seemed ridiculous, because the probability of dying in a serious accident without a seat belt must be equal to not pas porter at all, so what is the difference?" The justice said. "But the doctor's note will exempt you probably a ticket."
The alibi of acne
Weinblatt did not exempt a young bodybuilder to obtain a ticket. Weinblatt detected the bodybuilder on the path of the driver of the gym room. Belt of the bodybuilder was returned under his left arm.
"The man said he did not like the ramp to rub against his left shoulder, because it gives breaks out after it works", remembers Weinblatt. "The idea of the act ordering the restriction in the manner intended by the manufacturer that does not seem to impress him."
Weinblatt was not impressed by the reasoning of the driver. The mechanic was hit with a ticket.
What happens if I am unconscious?
Robert Greene, Assistant to a former Sheriff of Montgomery County, Texas, and now an insurance agent farmers in Austin, Texas, said the apology was line of "it will mess up my clothes"to "it's a violation of my rights." "".
But there is a real winner of MP Greene time: "If I am knocked unconscious, I will not able to get the belt set aside out of the vehicle." Greene adds: "And she was serious."
Improve your chances.
If you're stopped by a police officer and that you step wear your seat belt, law enforcement experts recommend that simply tell you the truth. You are not likely to get any sympathy with the excuse "it will be wrinkle my dress. Weinblatt said that, if a driver has a positive attitude, it can make a big difference between the conduct offshore without a ticket and position to the traffic court.
Of course, driving or riding in a car without a seat belt can mean heading to the morgue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said that 53% of people were killed in 2009 car accidents were not looped.
"If everyone was wearing a seat belt, whenever they have rode in a car, we would greatly reduce the number of fatal accidents that we expect to occur this year," said Russ Rader, a spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Thirty-two States and the District of Columbia have "primary" seat belt laws, which allow ticket enforcement officers a driver for not wearing a seat belt, without any other offence of trafficking taking place. Seventeen States have "secondary" seat belt laws, allowing right of enforcement officers write a ticket for not wearing a seat belt only when another crime of trafficking occurred a. New Hampshire has no laws of primary or secondary belt for adults.
In 2010, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 15 per cent of U.S. drivers were not using seat belts.
