Click It Or Ticket

Agreed, the medical treatment is more expensive than ticket.

Most seat belt tickets have no point assign and probably no court fee included.

it's not really because of a court fee. it's because a cheaper ticket is, the more likely a violator is going to pay to get it over with. NYC did same tactic for parking tickets even though it's very expensive but they do offer a reduced fine in exchange of court waiver.

It's NYC! Good thing Chicago is cheaper than NYC for parking ticket and no court necessary unless you want fight for ticket.

When TCS and I went to school, our buses had a tubular metal bar that was across the outside top edge of each seat. It was used for a handrail to hold on to by the kids sitting behind, and for a headrest (hard one) for the kids sitting in front of it. Many a kid probably lost some front teeth on those things.

Actually your roller coaster is a good analogy. If the ride got rough, we kids were expected to hold onto that metal bar for dear life.

Chicago made it cheaper probably because they want to collect the ticket fines without a hassle. in NJ - it's mostly $20-40?

I think black asphalt is better than gravel . Gravel can get embedded in a person skin and it very painful to remove. Of course falling on black asphalt to very painful too. I don't think the kids today would last very long in the kind of playgrounds we had as kids.

There were no gravel on playground during childhood - mostly dirt or mulch.

Oh really? In here, it is legal for over 16 years old.

But it isn't common today - usually practical in protest, parade or pride like LGBT parade.

Lazy driver = high maintenance. :laugh2:

No wonder automatic seat belt don't make it anymore.

I remembered I saw the news in almost ten years ago that driver have automatic seat belt but he unbelted seat it and he got ticket for that.

I don't know if this is true, but several people have told me that if there is room for people inside the truck, it is illegal to have passengers in the bed....but if the inside is full, then people can ride in the back.

(Plenty of those happening daily down near the border.....)

Not everywhere. I see it every day in this area, especially in work trucks.

of course... the work truck is legally allowed to carry people in the back since it's for commercial purpose but in the picture - it isn't a work truck.

Cargo area laws

even though some states do not have state laws on this, cops do pull over pick-up trucks if they felt it was done in unsafe manner.
