Fake Seatbelt Fools Cops, Not Death

You have been fined 32 times since 2003 for not wearing a seatbelt. Do you:

A) Stop driving.
B) Start wearing a seatbelt.
C) Rig up a fake seatbelt to fool passing police officers.

You can probably see where this is going. Ivan Segedin learned the hard way that a fake seatbelt doesn’t really work in the event of a head on collision. Segedin was hopped up on pot and meth when his car crossed the center line and hit an oncoming motorist. The low-impact collision threw Ivan into his steering wheel which killed him. Officers who inspected the vehicle after the wreck found it to be equipped with two perfectly functioning standard seatbelts. Maybe if you want to use a fake seatbelt you should make it a life rule to not drive fucked up on multiple controlled substances. I could be crazy but it might increase your overall odds of seeing 40.
