Re: seat belt ticket

Be thankful it was a LEO that stopped you and not someone who ran a redlight or hit you headon and sent your daughter flying aroudn (or out of) the car because she wasn't belted. I love cars but I love my kids MUCH more and no kid gets into any of my cars that don't have seat belts.

Re: seat belt ticket

Bob Hill- are you SURE beyond any doubt that those seat belts are properly anchored and attached to your cars' structure? The 65 Corvair will have factory engineered attaching points. The Model A and the 1954 Chevy do not.

They have substantial gauge metal that a belt can be attached to, but I'd still want some type of reinforcement at the attaching points- at least 1/8" steel plate welded to the car body structure.

Was pulled over a handful of times in a '60 Pontiac with no belts - once because the cop couldn't see the registration and inspection stickers over on the side of the wraparound windshield (where I have seen them as far back as NY has used those stickers, on those cars). Never got a seat belt ticket. Live in New York.
