Huge seatbelt enforcement trap up here in Farmington Hills today. I'm sure they are elsewhere as well.
Wear your seatbelts!

Seat belts are uncomforatable, lol. I'm kidding of course!
There was one in auburn hills by my work yesterday.

I feel wierd without a seatbelt on. Even if I'm just moving my car up the driveway or something I'll often end up putting it on out of habit.
yup, second nature to reach back and put it on every time i get in the car.

I heard about that in OH as well.
Not a big deal to me, I wear mine all the time. I used to be an occasional thing for me, then I got hit head on doing 45mph while wearing a seat belt....couldnt have imagined what would have happened if I didnt have it on. Im sure it would have been a lot worse than the shattered knee cap and 2 fractures in my femur. Now I have a hardware store in my right leg!
Funny part is I was driving an s-10 and the woman who hit me was in a 99-2000 cougar.....they total the truck and fix the cougar!
I really need to scan the pics from the accident and post them up......its amazing how a chevy just falls apart, and you end up with an engine in your lap

Ironically, I still feel that seatbelt laws (and helmet laws) are unconstitutional, and violate our basic rights; but I would never drive without my seatbelt and never ride without a helmet.
I concur.
In farmington hills you must wear a helmet while riding your bicycle.:nonono: Here in livonia its not enforced. Thank god for level headed people.
ITs a bicycle for petes sake, not a motor cycle :help:

I should go grab some photos of the person that was ejected 50 ft from a car while driving with no seat belt and got into a head on with a drunk.
Lets just say the impact on the hood pinched off the guys head like a bad zit. I wear my seat belt thusly I get no ticket... plain and simple.

i think the only places to get a lug key is if you like buy a new set or order one from mcgard. i'm off early afternoon, gotta do some crap, then i'm heading to brett's, then your place i think, and i wasn't aware i had any of your beer, but if you mean the yueng in brett's car, i'll remind him.

you just have to wear the seat belt...no other option.
i agree...it shouldn't be mandatory, but i always wear them. its a good way to weed out the idiots.
my station wagon didn't come with seat belts from the factory, so i didn't have to have them, but i installed lap belts for my own safety.
quick helmet story:
In NH there are no helmet laws, in MA there are.
I was coming home from NH one day and saw a guy on a motorcycle with a half helmet hanging off his arm, well as we approached the MA boarder he decided it was time to put the helmet on, at 70 MPH in the passing lane.
he almost dumped twice.
