2 Tickets ** 1. no seatbelt on - 2. no chains - How to remove ...

Nowadays the rules are a little different. As discussed elsewhere a lot companies do yearly audits on driving records and they require drivers to fully disclose any tickets,regardless if it was in a CMV or personal vehicle,including seat belt violations. Used to be where law enforcement had to pull you over for something else before citing you for a seat belt violation but a lot agencies complained and that legal loophole was closed up in some jurisdictions.

 

Nothing like a little shock therapy early on. It was the mindset of those Dr.Ed. horror films that were deemed too graphic. I read, being ejected from the vehicle is the #1 cause of fatalities.

 

@JerryD13 drivers legal plan, it's like $500 retainer since you're not with them already, they work with the issuing county for reductions

 

I tend to agree, but their line of thinking is if something happens it holds you in the seat and helps you maintain control of the truck.

 

We still have a 1985 Mack and a 1983 FL that are still run regularly that only have a lap belt.

 

Had a one horse town cop stop me for no seat belt. And after he discovered my 59 Ford pickup didn't have one, he proceeds to tell me my truck was not legal to drive on public roads, unless i installed lap and shoulder belts. The City Attorney thru it out and had the cop write me a letter of apology.

 

I'm sure you will remember to grab a few bags for next year. We had snow in Central WA like Oct 25th, so it's not uncommon to see snow on the passes by Nov 1st.

Best of luck on reducing the Seatbelt ticket.
