Cuomo Wants All Back-Seat Passengers to Buckle Up
New York Gov. is proposing to extend the state's seat belt law to require all passengers in the back seat to buckle up.

This wasn't already a requirement?

I never understood why someone else should tell me I must secure myself into a moving vehicle. Sure it’s safer, sure I always do it, but who’s business is it other than mine?

Has there been a problem in the past with people taking turns to fast and flying out the window if not buckled? Is that why they go rid of the slick bench seats? lol

Of course people with no seatbelts on go through the windshield during crashes and die but doesn’t Darwin already manage that?

Edit:

Nope but perfectly fine for children to ride school busses without being restrained

I don't need a law to tell me that physics still applies even when someone else is driving. I don't take any chances given the way idiots drive today. I'll take the sideways glances. My ass is buckled in, bitch.

I only hope he's exempt from this so he can fly through a motorcade windshield at expressway speeds one day.

i take it all rear seats now will have to be just 2 bucket seats ..... hard to do a shoulder strap for the middle person of its a bench seat ..

 

[Acer-m14]

More reasons to pull vehicles over for generating revenue and fishing expeditions.. The crack down on window tint seems awful coincidental.

I lost my mother to a car accident, the seat belt didn't save her. It's nothing more then a false sense of security.

I'm sorry about your mother. RIP

However, do you truly believe that?

When you have a budget deficit, every little bit helps.

Gotta make more revenue to make up for the masses of people leaving this tyrannical state.

Fuck the Princess, - I'm already out!

 

[Bigfoot]

I have always thought that the back seat passengers were required to buckle up... Guess I was wrong.
I would make them buckle up regardless... My vehicle, my rules.

Anyways, yeah, Andy needs money.

It's never about safety, if you can just remember this the rest will fall into place.

And that's your choice. I make the same choice, by the way. But that's just the point. It should remain a CHOICE vs being compelled by the government.

I am very sorry to hear that you lost your mother in that way but I respectfully and strongly disagree. Once in an accident the safest place to be is inside the car. A seatbelt keeps you there. It also keeps you from snacking into the interior bits.

Let me translate. .. We want more money and too many people are getting wise to our tax racket. now we can rob people and tell them it's for their own good.

I don't wear seat belts and I've had cops pull me over and not ticket me for it with the exception of NYC they will sit on exit ramps and hand out seat belt tickets all day.
Do police usually inforce these laws?

 

[Gonzobird]

It i a way he hopes to raise more money.

Getting a seat belt on i something i don't even think about anymore it is just an automatic part of getting in a car.

This is another way he thinks we generate headlines and make a few extra bucks.

The seat belts today are a joke, a 5 point harness? That may have helped.

I'm not saying you should be forced to wear a seatbelt. Your life, your choice. What i will say is that arguing the fact that a seatbelt is not effective is a fool's errand.

Funny, I thought NY was the ultimate pro-choice state?

The seat belts that are in cars IMO are junk. unless you as the user crank the hell down on the lap part of it, it will not keep you from flying around and no one does that. Like I said maybe a 5 point harness.

Peace. Out.

I was involved in a major wreck in which I hit a ditch at 130mph and subsequently rolled the thing well over a dozen times, some of the flips were midair, and came to rest upside down over 200 yards of the road. My brother was with me.
We were both belted in and lived. No doubt in my mind whatsoever that if we weren't wearing belts we would have died.

Not so fast... I heard he may include that requirement as well (I believe it said "buses"; so does that include city buses?). He's just all bent out of shape because the upper courts shot down his attempt to keep body-cam footage (and mugshots) from the public. He's an angry, delusional micro-manager... he has to be in control, and lately he's been manipulated (about time!) and he's pouting.

Do police usually inforce these laws?

Yes, they are enforced by certain cops. It depends on the individual, their assignment ( some are assigned to this enforcement), and what else they have going on. I never wrote for seatbelt. I wasn’t a hypocrite about it. Many cops don’t wear their seatbelt while working ( always on my own time) and there was a legal exception for awhile.
The reason was an inability to get out of the car quickly( for gunfire or just to be able to chase someone)

But this is changing. Many cops in the less dangerous areas recognize that traffic accidents are probably a higher risk than being attacked in the car.

Wearing the seatbelt in the backseat? I do it now unless in a cab.

Do I think it should be mandatory?No. A comfort factor has to be allowed at some point especially for those withback issues or other physical issues.

I always used the seatbelts long before the law was enacted (1989 in South Carolina)
Being in the towing / recovery business will have that effect on someone.

If your vehicle is over 10 years old I would recommend to inspect the seat belt webbing for any cuts, rips, and fraying.
The cost of new webbing is usually around $100... Inspect the retractor operation, pull and release the seatbelt slowly.
The seatbelt must spool out and retract without locking. These are the 2 most common issues that I have seen when it comes to the seatbelt system. (spent most of my life working in automotive repair shops.)

There is more to a seatbelt system(s) than most people realize. Actually it's one of those things that people rarely if ever think about when it comes to their vehicle.

Seatbelt systems and airbags are designed to work in conjunction with each other.
But of course, they both must be operating properly to do the job as intended.

A 5 point harness would create a few issues as far as a passenger vehicle goes. Anyone that has been strapped into a 5 point harness like I have knows what I am talking about. There are different variables that come into play when considering the restraint system for a passenger vehicle compared to a strictly racing machine.

IMHO, the seatbelt / airbag system is the better choice on passenger vehicle...

Just my 2 cents... YMMV
