[...] The National Motorists Association ranks New York among the top ten unfriendly states for motorists. The NMA calculated the rankings using 17 criteria “related to specific traffic laws, enforcement practices, and the treatment of traffic ticket defendants.” [...]

“….Why haven’t the death rates come down precipitously as your safety improvements are added to vehicles?” Answer: Because no matter what you do to the cars or how you change them, the same idiots are still driving them. Nuf sed.

oh…I almost forgot to add this: When was the last time a govt. program cost less, did more, even worked and didn’t take away from our freedoms? Answer: Never NE..VER!! Just because some egg-head goof with a clipboard says it’s safer, doesn’t or shouldn’t mean we want things changed to put more “Padding” around us. Who said life is safe. Who said it’s even Supposed to be safe. Who wants to be taken care of and Safe from the craddle to the grave? Not me! Nobody’s ever Safe. Nothing is 100% safe. Nowhere is Safe. Nobody is even safe in their momma’s womb. If anybody feels that giving up their Rights & Freedoms for safety to a govt. that can’t even balance it’s own checkbook, you reeeeeaaalllyyy need to take a step back and look these people in the eye, who are taking your control from you and using it against you. We need to think for ourselves. We need to keep ourselves safe. We need…As Americans to run our own lives, not let others run it for us. History shows us that once they’ve got more Rights over our lives than we do, it’s over. And if you don’t care or you can’t imagine what I’m talking about, then you’re not paying attention.

NYC should be Cut Loose from New York State. If they contribute so much to New York State, let them be Independent. We gladly give them to New Jersey. No No No… no need to thank us. The Pleasure’s all ours. No really…it is. Just imagine; 8 million more people to tax the crap out of who actually deserve to be taxed like the rest of the State’s people. But this time, no holds barred. And besides, Jersey could use the extra cash. And Jersey is easy to drive through. You just enter the State, look waaaay down the road to the other side and FLOOR IT. And never look back. Piece of Cake. :-)

In you rankings, speed traps per capita should be changed to speed traps per car. For example, New York State probably gets a higher ranking than it should. NY State probably has less cars per capita than any other state because New York City has 43 percent of the state’s population, and only 44% of city residents own cars. Other states with well utilized mass transit systems are probably also similarly mis-ranked.

I did read that last link. I liked the comment from Mike M

“Let Darwin’s Law about survival take its course. Stupid people don’t buckle up so they die in greater numbers than those who do. It improves the gene pool.”

jimpeel you get lost. So what if “SOME” manufacturers included lap belts in 1963. You still do not have a brain if you are bringing that up. There are a number of things wrong with that statement.
One: only some had lap belts
Two: lap belts were outdated in the early to mid 80s and are old safety devices
Three: They were not required to wear them until much much later.
Four: Lap belts were only slightly better than nothing at all.
Five: With current seatbelts combined with air bags and side air bags and increased crash safety requirements a driver or passenger in a vehicle is multiple times safer than with lap belts that were seldom used.

Six: I said to get lost until you have something of substance to do with current facts.

Seven: If people wear current seatbelts along with the other safety devices they are a lot safer than without and you “do not get ticketed”.

Eight: Maybe they should not require seatbelts and get rid of more people without a brain.
