Gah do you guys know anyway to contest this? i went on a quick run to the market and forgot to put on my lap belt, and i wasnt driving recklessly or anything, just bad luck, a motorcycle cop just happens to stop next to my window at a red light and just happens to glances over, and well you know the rest...man I"m pissed!! anyway do you guys know how much the fine for a lap belt ticket is? or if theres anyway to contest it? I'm from the Los angeles area so yea...my court date is July 19th...help?

 

**** that sucks man. guy sounds like a dick. i never use my lap belt.

 

They are really getting strict on the seatbelt rule..dont think you can fight this one dude

 

i no when i got caught speeding it cost me a extra 50 bucks on my ticket for not having my lap belt even tho i had my shoulder restraint on. damn automatic seatbelts. buy n e ways that was in las vegas though

 

so no ideas on how much it would cost me? cause so far I"ve read that fighting it would just be a waste of time and **** of the court people, so far I"ve read it to be from $20 to $50 but the document was copyrighted from 1997, so i dunno how much that would be reliable, any ideas?

 

dont trip i got one too, my court date is july 7.

 

Under a 100 or so?

 

man I hope its under a $100, I"m a tadbit jobless at the moment, I knew i shouldnt of quit...GAHHHH anyway thanks alot guys, youve been a major help

 

down here its only $25

 

i know ignorance of the law isn't acceptable(not saying ur dumb), but how about telling the judge u had the auto seatbelt on n u thought that was enuf. Or u forgot to click it n got a ticket.
Seatbelt laws suck, But they do save lives

 

true true, I kinda thought about that, but i figured me being a teenager in a sports car doesnt really help my situation much, you know cause of all that news talk about teenagers being reckless drivers, and from reading in other forums about fighting it, they said that its better to just pay it than **** them off, because its rare to get out of a seatbelt ticket...so I"m kinda screwed either way....Me'h ive got about a month to figure things out
