Seat Belts -n- Seat Belt Tickets

[ashx2]

Oh how I love these old trucks!!!! I got pulled over by a DPS officer yesterday (a young fella eager to do his job), and he says to me, "The reason I pulled you over, was for failure to wear a seat belt."

I said, "You mean like this one?? (pointing to my lap belt)"

I could see he was a little dumbfounded and embarrassed and could tell he was looking for anchors where a shoulder belt would be on the newer vehicles.

I said, "Was that all you were needing or was there something else?"

"Uh, no sir, that's all. It just looked like you didn't have a seat belt on when I passed you. You be safe and have a nice day," he said.

As I pulled away, I thought......I LOVE MY TRUCK.....I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!!

I know seat belts are important and that they do truly save lives......but it burns my butt to have someone "make" or "require" me wear one. I guess it's just my little way of "stickin' it to the man"!
