i just heard on the news that starting at the end of the month, there is a new law going into effect. you can now be pulled over if you are seen with no seat belt on. they no longer need to see you commit another offense in order to get you for the seat belt. i know we all wear them all the time anyway, but just a heads up

 

It's been like that for a long time now...

316.614(4B)

(4) It is unlawful for any person:

(a) To operate a motor vehicle in this state unless each passenger and the operator of the vehicle under the age of 18 years are restrained by a safety belt or by a child restraint device pursuant to s. 316.613, if applicable; or

(b) To operate a motor vehicle in this state unless the person is restrained by a safety belt.

 

Though its been that way... It was more regulated as a secondary offense... meaning.. if you were stopped.. and if you werne't wearing restraints.. then you would be ticketed..

I THINK (thats all caps for a reason).. that the change is that it becomes a primary offense...

 

Click it or ticket, and motorcyclists aren't required to wear helmet .....WTF

 

Dude, where have you been Its been a law.

 

Yes. It is a dumbest thing in Florida law

 

Same here but i hear now if they see you not wearing it 4 times they take your license i dont know if this is true tho. Im from up north What law they should put is the Cell phone law. where you can't use it while driving unless it a head set im tired of Facking ppl in the passing lane texting

 

true that it's only a matter of time before they outlaw cell phone use while driving, it's getting pathetic seeing everyone and their mom testing/talking while driving.... I've just about been sideswiped 5 times in the past week

 

Cellphone law is the must for all ppl safety.

 

Try that on the turnpike, you're in for a surprise!!
