Out of curiosity, do you wear seatbelts when you are in a car?


Sometimes. Not always. It depends on traffic.


No problem - as I said, just curious.

Here in CT, as you know, there are no requirements for helmets for
drivers - there are rider laws however I believe.

I just find it interesting that the anti-helmet crowd seems to be
firmly in the seatbelt law camp. Two years ago, there was another
attempt to get a helmet law initiated in CT. The main opposition to
this law was led by a State Senator who has initiated all kinds of
safety laws for cars including the new onerous fine schedule for
speeding.

The day the law was defeated in the Senate, he was caught driving down
I-91 at 92 mph, 1. on the breathalyzer and no seat belt.

Seatbelt laws suck and should be removed for adults to make their own
choice.
