I live in Liverpool, which in my opinion the police are a F ucking joke, in my first week of driving i was pulled no less than 9 times and 3 times in one night, and i wasn't speeding, or anything like that. They just don't like seeing young people on the roads!

I do sort of agree but there are always reason I think,
1. To check if you are insured, i.e via a producer
2. Check you the correct owner which you would be thankful if a theif was pulled
3. make sure that your not drink driving at night
4. Have a quick look at the tryes, tax etc.
Don't get me wrong I hate getting pulled but you got to look at from there point of veiw.

Think about hitting a car at 30/40+ with no seatbelt though. Using the windscreen as a saftey device usualy doesnt work.

no as if I wear one in a minor smack it could dislodge the pins in my seturm and therefore my rib cage will exploxed so its alot safer for me, just have to have airbags removed from cars

Luck of the draw, some will say seatbelts save lives, others say they'd have been killed if wearing them.

becuase I hate wearing seat belts and if I can get away with it I can, doctor signs a note for me every 6 months guess if I told him I boxed he might not though
