Enhanced Seatbelt Law for Colorado
We would like to thank the Democrat Controlled General Assembly of
Colorado for being courageous to put forth a bill (House Bill 1138). Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety (http://www.saferoads.org), California Highway Patrol, International Chiefs of Police and other organizations especially corporate executives applaud members of the General Assembly for making a decision to put forth a law that will be good for all Coloradoans regardless whether they want it or not. This idea of rugged individualism and personal choice counter's Society's views including that driving is a privilege, not a right annd Society can determine at their whim who can drive and who cannot. It is time to put the word privilege back into driving. We ask that everyone contact the Colorado Assembly and demand this legislation be passed ! (http://www.leg.state.co.us) Also ask the General Assembly for a motorcycle helmet law as well. Free spirit ideals are counter to the vision of Society especially the CEO Council. |

When you get behind the wheel of a car, you effect not just yourself but others on the road with you. If you have your own private road that no one else drives on, then feel free to drive however you want on it. But if you're on the same road that other people are on, then you'd damned well better follow the rules of the road. -===- Michael Fierro Y!

Privilege not a right has been used to basically suspend the bill of rights if we use a motor vehicle. Not to mention any sort of public or private transportation. Because people have become so accustomed to giving up their rights while using motorized transporation, it is slowly be extended to walking as well. Thusly IMO is is a very poor arguement to use for seatbelt laws. Seatbelt use should simply be the same as the use of any other piece of equipment required on a motor vehicle. Using headlamps at night, using wipers when needed, using mirrors before changing lanes. It's an equipment issue. Nothing more or less. It's a piece of equipment to keep occupants in their place and that's the reason it should be used. Not because our right of choice becomes suspended whenever some possible impact on others can be drawn. |

Seatbelt laws are a necessary evil because not enough people are smart enough to use them. These are the same non-thinkers that crash into **** and get killed. Thanks to them airbags were rushed to be made mandatory to punch us in the face or break our arms during a collision. And, it could be argued that keeping a numbnuts in their seat during a collision/loss of control would assist them in regaining control or, at least, reducing the loss of control... but not by me. ----- - gpsman |

I think so. To bad I don't live in your neighborhood; I'd love to do
the tax payers a favor and mow your worthless ass over. But then again, you're not worth having to have the car repaired over. Maybe an old beater pick-up with a concrete-fill brush bar? How's it going, loser? |

How does this law help anybody other than the individual who is forced
to belt in? I say, let natural selection take its course. Colorado and especially Boulder have more than enough stupid people already. |

The People's Republic of Boulder is why you can't smoke anymore in Colorado. Hey, the cops have to eat too |
