Here's a guy who besides being the Governor of NJ (Democrat), is a former US senator, a former big boss at a Wall St money biz, a mega multi-millionaire and he gets wacked with a bad compound leg fracture, broken ribs, and a head smash which would probably not occur had he worn his seatbelt.
How about that? As a non-seat belt wearer will he be cited and effectively lose his good driver insurance discount for the next three years? |
If the Governor was sitting in the back then he is not required to wear a seatbelt in New Jersey. Only the driver, front seat passenger(s) and children under 18 must be belted.
And if he was sitting up front, the driver is responsible for the offense, not the passenger. So the State Police would have to cite the State Police....don't think that is going to happen!
Nope, his good driving discount remains good!
