And to add to the below comments,
Why do we allow passengers to ride in the bed of a truck? They aren’t getting tickets. Cops fly right on by them with not even a second glance.
I am an avid seat belt wearer and expect the same of my children, but I don’t agree with FORCING someone to wear a seatbelt.
So, if I accidentally pull out of the Tom Thumb after pumping gas and forget to put my seat belt on immediately, and a cop sees me-I could be paying a steep ticket?
I disagree with this. If I want to take the chance of potentially killing myself in a car wreck, I should have that right! (again, I wear my seat belt always!)

I remember that night 35 years ago, when Mr Buck and his son Daniel pulled me out of that Mustang, what was left of it, gas everywhere. I know without seatbelts and the Lord’s hand, I would have been dead. Buckle up people. Thanks Daniel.

ET, Motorcyclists have better lobbyists…. I buckle up and I wear a helmet, it’s my choice. I have responsibilities to my family, who will take care of the wife and kids while I’m splattered all over I-10 or Hwy. 29? or ejected out of my pick up somewhere. Same reason I don’t get hammered and drive.

If the sheriffs office really cares so much, how about ticking Bufords for not having a flag man when they tie up a hill top where there is double yellow lines in
the middle of road. They had 2 trucks with no flagman on Jernigan and you could not tell what was over the hill. That’s why double yellows are there, you can’t see over the hill.

This is a law that saves lives but why don’t don’t they do a study on motorcycles drivers that were killed wearing a helment and not wearing a helments. If our goverment is going to control one for safety why not control all for safety.
