No Seat belt = points

[Hereiam]

Great start to the day, got pulled over by the RUC for no seat belt. £60 and 3 points thats me on 9 points now. I wouldn't have minded but I stopped at a shop and was makin my way to work which was only another 1/2 mile and in a 30mph zone and I didn't put the fckin thing back on me again. I tell you they have it in for me. Is there any point contesting this one or should I just accept it and wait for the next 3.

[wherefromreferee?]

What did you get the first 6 for?

[Hereiam]

Got them for going a bit too fast for their likin one day

[gerry]

i peaked at nine point for a while. theres nothing like having nine points on your licence to make you slow down and wise up.

Don't know about up north Hereiam but its in black and white that you get 2 points for not wearing a seatbelt in the south and there is no point in contesting it. I just have a habit now of putting on my seatbelt the minute i get in to the car be it a half mile journey or 160 mile.

The penny didn't start to drop after five or six?

Same here. I don't feel comfortable without a seat belt on. I even wear one if sitting in the back, especially in NYC taxis!

On what grounds should/would you contest it? Surely it's black and white?

I don't know about anyone else, but personally putting on the seatbelt is as automatic a reaction as letting off the handbrake.

Are those boys still on the roads ?

You'll soon be hitchin a ride, ohh hitchin a ride!!

[Tony Baloney]

Why would you contest it? You were caught fair and square.

Having said that I have a bad habit of getting into the car and then putting my belt on after a couple of minutes. I was caught speeding in a 30 a couple of years ago with no belt on and on my way to replace 2 bald tyres at Philly White's in Armagh!

Now there was a slam dunk if they wanted to hit me hard. Luckily it was a female cop and I'm gorgeous (as you can see from my photo) so got off with a ticking off!

[Hereiam]

Well I believe that it shouldn't be a traffic offence and that it should be left up to the individual whether or not to wear it. Was thinking of using the line " yous are nothing but a shower of c**ts"

Never forget, clunk click

Can't do that Heriam.. As the advertisements show someone not wearing a seatbelt can cause as much damage as the crash itself!

My old man drives for a living, which is why both my mother and I have three points each on our licenses...

Seat belt is a no brainer for me, I have it on before I turn on the ignition.
