Why must you always have me smoking? Such a nasty habit.

Seat belts are a completely different story. I wear mine, but only because my car yells at me if I don't. Very little chance my wearing or not wearing a seatbelt is going to have any negative impact on anyone besides myself should I be in an accident.

The true crime is causing an accident. That's the point you've infringed upon the rights of someone else. Speeding doesn't mean you're going to cause an accident.

He hasn't been closeted for some time now.

Sir, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I have zero problem with the gay community and will aid in their fight for rights in any way I can, but I myself am a heterosexual Yeti.

Who is more likely to lose control of a vehicle? Someone doing a reasonable speed that hits a bump or has to suddenly avoid an obstruction? Or someone driving way to fast that hits that same bump or has to avoid that same obstruction?

The woman.

Wearing or not wearing a seatbelt doesn't make someone more or less likely to cause an accident. I don't even know what we are arguing here.

Your wife and kids might view that differently.

After my wife and three young kids were in an accident that flipped their minivan, I was grateful for seat belt laws.

That is true. I do wear mine now. We stressed it to our kids so much when they were young, if I ever tried to pull out of the driveway without it on while one of the kids was in the car with me they would make sure I knew about it. lol

Seat belts should be common sense.

So should not driving too fast on a busy interstate, yet I see idiots doing it everyday going to and from work.

Again, you're trying to define what is "too fast" for someone else. Common sense is not driving faster than you can handle. Not faster than Glitch thinks you can handle.

The cop didn’t even get a radar speed but only a “visual speed of 60 mph”. Yeah, that’s accurate.

Visual estimate of speed is apparently a legal thing for cops in Florida, but from what I gather is a lot harder to make stick. Who knows though.

I'm going to start a game thread and give you something else to focus on.

And they were doing more than just speeding. They were bobbing in and out of traffic, creating a problem for other motorists. I've already said, that is reckless driving. But I don't see strictly speeding as reckless driving. Speeding does not have to include the bobbing and weaving those knuckleheads were doing.

Tell @Weezer to check himself or I'll do it!

@Ulysees E. McGill is going to be disappointed when he finds out you're a communist seeking to jinx the Vols.

That is the stuff I am talking about. If someone wants to drive fast they can, but they very often get impatient and start slipping in and out of lanes. They can't just be patient and wait for the slower moving vehicle to get out of the way.

Slow drivers should be courteous and move over when someone who wants to drive faster than they are going comes up behind them. That would solve some of the road rage problems.

If @Ulysees E. McGill agrees with laws that infringe our rights to drive at speed, then I will be disappointed in him. Mandatory speeds are no different than mandatory seat belts.

@Ulysees E. McGill loves freedom and hates restrictive laws, but he hates morons just as much or more.

This is something that we can agree on.
