Also, i would not want to be hitting an airbag without a seatbelt on. Thats basically lights out!
i know exactly how you feel, i moved my mates landrover the other day about 200 yards on his farm, it felt strange not putting the belt on whilst in a moving car.
anyway, whats' wrong with being hit in the face with something travelling at 500mph..
i got 3 points for "mobile device whilst driving" bang to rights, my fault, broke a law that had been in for 11 years at that point, no arguement.. and the guy that pulled me over was the guy from traffic cops... result lol
I was always of the understanding that points were allocated to an offence if and when that offence had hte potential to cause harm to another, which is why motorbike riders not wearing a helmet is not endorsable, however pillion without a lid is (can cause harm to him, legally responsible etc).
would be a pretty steep change in the law if seatbelts commanded 3 points as well, as the only person you are putting in danger (as the driver only) is yourself, when passangers start however, being in charge of that vehicle, it is your responsibility
Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
