FLAME!!!!! A bigger wimp out you have never seen! The law not only provides for a small fine ($15 I believe), but the police are NOT going to be allowed to stop you for violating the seat-belt law! The only way you will ever get a ticket for it is if you are stopped for some other violation!! Well, at least in Ohio, the Ray-gun administration got what they wanted. A watered-down, unenforceable law (virtually a non-law) just to prevent auto makers from having to install passive restraints. For an administration that wants the federal govt. out of state affairs they sure use highway funds as a big club. ------------------------------------------------------------ disclaimer: no sane man thinks as I do ...ihnp4!mgnetp!ll1!cej Llewellyn Jones ------------------------------------------------------------
