New Jersey Five-0
Today, as I was driving home, I got pulled over on rt 36 eastbound – just after the Home Depot plaza. I knew I wasn’t speeding, and I’m pretty sure I don’t have any lights out or anything. I politely asked the officer why I was pulled over and he told me he was on seat belt duty…and I wasn’t wearing said critical protection device. My first ticket in probably 8 years or so. And despite my disagreement with its mandated use, I do usually wear my seat belt!!
It is fairly amusing how 12 days ago I posted THIS. Apparently, the Click It or Ticket campaign is quite real :)
By the way, the officer was quite pleasant.

Sorry but…I had to laugh…just a little. I’m sorry you got a ticket though – that stinks!
Praying for you.
Dar I got 2 tickets this week. One parking in Hoboken last monday and a speeding ticket in Nevada on Friday….. Catch up buddy didn’t you know tickets are the way for municipalities to make money? All the cool people get tickets!
The first thing I thought about when I saw your status on facebook was your post! Ironic for sure.
bummer =(
Oh poo! Memorial Day weekend seems to be THE weekend for seatbelt tickets! I got one a few years ago even though I WAS wearing my seatbelt (long story). Sorry to hear about your’s though.
I sobbed for hours after mine so it seems like your reaction was much better!
I heard the commercial on the radio after reading your last post on seatbelts. It’s a pretty funny commercial. Mainly because it’s so dumb.
Well, sorry you got a ticket. But if it’s any consolation, I have to pay for a ticket I got a couple months ago.
Awww MAN.
