May 18-31 is the annual Click It or Ticket time. TXDPS, along with a lot of other agencies, will be focusing on seat belt enforcement. Buckle up!!!

[Gumbo]

Thanks for the reminder  that it is not my decision to make. 
I do think it saves lives, Buuuuut shouldn't it be a choice and not an enforcement.

[hipshot]

I'm not saying it should be mandated, I'm just reminding y'all. Nothing more, nothing less,

[tom cat]

The law is, what it is, ya don't fight it, at the level of the one giving the ticket. He probably doesn't support the law ether. He gets paid to enforce the law. It may not seem like it, but your vote counts.

[Gumbo]

Thanks for the reminder, it is good to be informed

When it first became law, I was rebelous and had the attitude that it was my vehicle and noone had any right to tell me what I should are shouldn't do in it. I felt like my safety in my vehicle was no body's business but mine.
A fifty dollar ticket (and the time I waisted paying it) softened my attitude and I started wearing it. Before I knew it, it was a habit and I buckeled up without even thinking about it. After shoulder surgery I couldn't buckle up without it hurting so I got out of the habit of buckling up.

Thanks for the reminder Jim, I damn near t-boned a car Friday that pulled out in front of me. I've kissed the steering wheel before, don't want to go there again.

 I don't mind wearing the belt but I am in and out of the car many times a day and sometimes I forget at least till I see a LEO. Thanks for the heads up.

It's a habit with me.....So much so that I always look for the belt when I get on my motorcycle........

I have kids, they catch hell if they are not cinched up. I ask every time. and I loose it, if they take it off, in route. Yea, that happens .
I rode on station wagon, and pickup tailgates way too fast. I slept in the back window. both parents smoked in the car. I lived,  How did that happen.

I've been ticketed for this 4 times and I still dont put it on unless I see a LEO first.    It's just a law that serves no purpose other than  to generate revenue.

Wish I had mine on in February, Mighta' helped lessen all the bones I broke!

Wore mine before it was the law. Pretty sure it save my life once, judging from the cracks left on my steering wheel column.

 I usually have mine on before I start the truck or soon after either way its on before the truck starts moving.
