Why is not wearing seat belt against the law?

Hi. While you're at it asking why, NOT wearing seat-belts, is against the LAW -you should also go ahead and ask; WHY is committing suicide against the LAW?...

dino67 SG

Hello everyone,

I'm just throwing up this notion for discussion...okay, here goes...my issue is seat-belts...see, if I don't wear my seat-belt whilst driving and get into an accident, and something really terrible happens, then it is entirely my fault and the pain is mine alone; I have to bear the consequences.

I've not hurt anyone else but me so why should the authorities "force" me to wear it? I should to free to decide on my own.

My other point is about child-seats and parents allowing their kids to run around inside the car and not ensuring they are securely belted in...who should be responsible if something bad happens? The parents, right? So, if the parents feel it is alright to allow that, why should the authorities step in and tell us what to do? The onus is on the parents.

Anyone care to comment?

The cynical side of mewould say it’s becaue even your life is not your own, but merely a unit of production for the State.

JackOT SG

Haha…well said. Maybe because when you die, other ppl have to clear your shi*. You know, writing report…investigation and so.

If you go for overseas training with the army, and you are so suay to kenna HIV, you can be charged for damaging military property.

monkeybusiness SG

wow... a thread on seatbelt can be divisioned into so many sub topics Laughing

Charis75 SG

If you or your passengers don't wear a seatbelt and get into an accident, the impact could send either of you flying out of the car, into the path of oncoming vehicles. That innocent driver will then be involved if he can't stop in time and his car rolls over you. Or he may swerve to avoid you and crash into something else. Shocked

Wahaha. Like that also can ar.

So your b|oody body won't get flung out of your car, and hit the car in front of you, thus preventing a chain of events. Laughing

digicharat SG

ya. and your dirty blood wont stain the road which will cost money to clean it away.

mushigen SG

So if a parent feels it is ok to cane the child everyday, make him sleep in the toilet, chain him up, and sexually violate him/her, then no one has the right to stop the parent?

And, if a parent thinks it is ok to make the child sit on the roof of the car, no one can stop the parent?

Your argument is warped.

also, if u are badly smashed up, they still need to rush u to emergency ward, and take up precious time of other emergency cases.

wanna die go without hindering others' chances of survival ok?

P.S > actually i prefer no seat-beat myself Laughing dont feel tied down. Mr. Green

Poopie-Head SG

i heard that those who committed sucide and died will get their punishment, i.e. the dead body will be caned/whipped/watever. Confused

Qitai SG

As if anyone cares if the dead body gets whipped. If it is true, then the person doing the whipping will feel very silly.

Poopie-Head SG

imagine u r the relative of the person who committed suicide? do u think it matters now? or that anyone cares?

Qitai SG

Canning is suppose to be done in private without any audience if you do not know.

If it is done to my relative, I only scold the government stupid dumb dumb only. That's all.

Anyway, that is probably false. The only true thing I know is that you may be jailed if your sucide attempt fails.

digicharat SG

no lah!!! even if u commit sucide and succeed, your dead body will be thrown into jail and rot for a few days before u get buried.

_Aaron_ SG

That's rubbish. I think the body of my dead friends were sent back right after the autopsy. What thrown into jail and rot? What's the purpose and practicality of that?

Poopie-Head SG

my ex-colleague's dad committed suicide. He told me that he (not sure if include other family members?) witnessed the caning/whipping (i forgot which).

just wanna get confirmation from those who actually know from personal experience, not those guessing/hearsay/etc.
