What is the legal way to buckle a seatbelt?
Guest 3 May 2005 13:57:23
	The signs along the road say the state law requires that seat belts are buckled. According to that, I can buckle it any way I wish. I can buckle it when I am outside the car, and when I get into the car, just sit on it, with it buckled behind me. I can leave it buckled all the time against the seat, and just leave it that way. The signs do not specify that the seat belt must be around my body, or over my lap, or any other specific rules. It just states that they must be buckled. In some cars, the seat belts can even be pulled thru the seat and could be buckled behind the seat. Has anyone ever run into any sort of situation like this, or know of cases where there was a legal case because someone did have their seatbelt buckled but not around their body?

That's certainly the "malicious obedience" way of doing it. Not too long ago, there was a post to this group from someone who received a ticket for wearing his seat belt. I suspect the same would happen to you if you ran into the right cop.

In germany the police would refer to the manual of the car (or belt manufacturer, if you installed a separate belt system). For the most popular 3 point belts very easy to decide. Full punishment, if you don't wear the seatbelt as indicated. Thomas

According to that, I can buckle it any way I wish. You could buckle all the belts and hang them out the window without violating the signs but that wouldn't make any difference in the legal consequences. The officer wouldn't charge you with disobeying the sign. He would charge you with disobeying the state's seat belt law. In Massachusetts motor vehicle drivers and passengers must wear "a safety belt which is properly adjusted and fastened." That is the legal requirement. It applies even in the absence of signs. The signs are reminders. You might as well argue that you didn't break the speed limit because the sign neglected to say "miles per hour". -- John Carr (jfc@mit.edu)

Before you try it, you should read the actual seat belt law in your state. The signs on the road are just reminders. You may find that the law specifies that you can't do what you propse. --------------- Alex

Go ahead and try it though, you'll be doing everyone else on the road a favour the day you have an accident and crack your head open on the dashboard. While you're at it, why don't turn your brake lights around so that they light up the inside of your boot/trunk a pretty red. When someone runs up the back of you, you can try and argue that your brake lights were in fact functioning properly. Hell, while you're at it, why don't you have the B pillars in your car replaced with balsa wood. When your passenger is killed by a cyclist running into the side of your car, you can argue your car was perfectly safe as it was in fact equipped with B pillars. You idiot.

	The sign can't possibly relay the complete text of the statute for which it is referring to. I'd suggest that you read the text of the statute. I'll bet that it's just a tiny bit more specific in communicating what proper belt use means. <someone@ontheroad.com> wrote in message news:o1ie71tanl1e2jtvv7etnia5ig5mvsdp2i@4ax.com...> The signs along the road say the state law requires that seat belts> are buckled.
