Seatbelt Violation??

**Bossmonkee** · March 31st, 2016 06:51 PM

Hi guys just wanted to get ur opinion on a particular issue. We all know the LTO folks tend to do random violatuon inspections on the road for motor vehicles, today while driving I was flagged by an LTO personnel and i was wondering what cud the issue be, my headlights and tail lights were fine, newly registeres, and recently renewed license, and was wearing a seatbelt, so when the guy pulled me over, I usually have this habit of removing my seatbelt everytime I park or double park, so when i pulled over on the side of the road, i removed my seatbelt and lowered the window to ask what i did wrong and the guy told me I wasnt wearing my seatbelt, so my question is, am i in the wrong becos i removed my seatbelt after stopping?

What happened after?

Kita naman niya siguro if kaaalis mo lang talaga nung seatbelt mo.

No violation on that.

Baka hindi ka naman talaga naka seatbelt? (Pardon playing the devils advocate only)

Yes based on RA 8750.

"Private motor vehicle are required to wear or use their seat belt devices while inside a vehicle of running engine on any road or thoroughfare"

Hassle din pala ito, so I have to wear my seatbelt when taking quick naps while parked in Makati side streets (engine and A/C on).

Well, it would be a good habit nga to put your belt on before you switch the engine on and belt off after engine off.

Yes. What if a speeding vehicle bumps into your vehicle while you are parked. Lipad ka from the windshield.

I don't get why people can't wait to take their seatbelts off. I feel naked without it. I have to admit that I don't wear one when seated at the back. Only my maternal Lola does that he he.

whatever else people say about the seatbelt...
it IS a restraint. to almost everything one wants to do. the natural response is to remove it.
i still have this gadget clip that i attach to the upper part of the belt, beside the pillar. it gives the belt some slack, making the restraint easier, and still be belted.

then you should also start practicing wearing it when sitting at the back. it doesn't make you any safer if you're at the back.

But if he removed his seat belt after he got flagged then it would seem pinara lang siya tsaka hinanapan ng pwedeng ikaso sa kanya.

Yes i was indeed wearing my seatbelt while I was driving, cos im a bit paranoid when it comes to accidents so i take all precautions since my steering wheel isnt equipped with airbags, they wouldnt even be able to determine that i wasnt wearing one bcos my window tint is ridiculously dark, i even wish my windows werent bcos then it wud have been easier for them to see that i was indeed wearing one wyl driving, but you know if the seatbelt law appliesto a car that is either in motion or at rest then so be it ill take the penalty, but if it isnt, i just find it unfair, when it comes to things like our lisence and plates they give all the excuses and delays in the world, but when it comes to these dishing out of violations and fines their quickness and punctuality is through the roof.
