I think the Fuzz on your Island are always fishing.

Or perhaps directing tourists to the sights.

The past 2 weeks they've been busting people for not wearing seatbelts.Normally they have to find another reason to pull you over but because of the holiday they can pull you over and impound your vehicle for not wearing a seatbelt.

To be fair, I think it should be the drivers choice to/not wear a seat belt.

But when the driver turns into a vegetable and ends up on life-support... the state ends up paying for it.

Which would prompt you to say, "any driver taking the risk of not wearing a seat belt shouldn't be kept alive at the hospital"


riiiiiiiight. that'll go over well. Tell that to the rest of their family.

"Sorry sweety, we could save your dad, but the cost would be too great, afterall, he chose not to wear a seatbelt. Sorry."

TREE-SURFER

Ok, on the same note; a recent accident here, involved a death, albeit, it was the passenger. He was wearing his belt and the speed was quite high at the point of impact. How did he die?, the seat belt snapped his neck. So the Law is controversial to a point, crash without a belt, you could die, crash with one on, you may die also. But either way, you could also be cabbaged for the rest of your life.

I don't wear one regardless unless a cop is following me.

I seem to recall that the average of instances where the belt kills you, vs the number where they save your life is too wide to compare the two.

If high speed were involved, and they *hadn't* been wearing a seatbelt (which was kind enough to snap their neck), they'd either be impaled on the steering column, or have their pretty little head pushed up through the windshield.

One could also argue that the seat belt may have been improperly adjusted, with the strap riding too high up around the neckline. When used right, they should only break ribs, not snap your neck.

But then again, airbags have been known to fug people up too, so shall we do away with them too?



Around here all the people who argue the seatbelt laws are usually the same people who think that marijuana should be legalized too. Crazy wankers.

$1.80 for a litre of diesel today

How the hell do your cars run on 87 octane?

We have 91 as standard, 95 as premium, and 98 as a high end premium.
My car runs on 98octane only at about $1.60 per litre.

If you really think about it; people have been using marijuana for countless years. Along with cocaine and opium. People have also been producing alcohol, for their own pleasures. Alcohol has had more deaths related to it than Marijuana. After all, it is a herb, like tobacco and produced for the public market. The only reason basically that is illegal, is that the Government cannot Tax it. And until then, it will remain illegal. It has had known reports made on the subject, that it has medicinal properties, like when they first found penicillin and yet we still to this day use it. Other drugs made consumable by the public, has had known disadvantages and have been withdrawn, but, these have also been approved by our governments. Why?, because the government is skimming their little proportion of the top. Marijuana in my eyes is safe and should be legalised.
I am not a user of the substance.

Land here is cheap....If it is not right on lake Superior. My house is on the "poor side of the road" so it is worth about 80 grand or so. If my house was on the other side of the road "on the lake" it would probably run about 350 grand. I bought hunting property about 2 miles behind my house and it is 89.6 acres. I bought it 7 years ago for 350.00$ an acre. today i could probably get about $1500.00 to $2000.00 an acre for it. and that is pretty cheep compared to most places. I also use the property to dump chips and wood.

newguy18

it should be the drivers option to wear a seatbelt,not some nazi politican's.

Seatbelts in vehicles that are fitted with airbags are dangerous.

A seatbelt will stop the body flying forward but the head still shoots forward and hits the airbag which is being blown towards it, causing twice the impact.

With the advances in Airbag technology, seatbelts should be scrapped.
A body length airbag should inflate from the steering wheel, down the steering column and into the footspace to protect the legs.
This, together with the side impact airbags should provide complete protection in a smash!

And nobody then has to wear a seatbelt, yahoo!!!

Yooper, I just read your post about the property you've got.

$350/acre!!! What a steal!!! I'd buy almost *anything* around here if I could find it for under $10K/acre, but it's just not to be had. Still looking though.

Sounds like you've got yourself a nice spot. You mentioned hunting, what kind of game can be found on your land out there?


And Tree-surfer, you just proved my point. lol. Funny, that thing about taxes, we managed to figure out how to tax tobacco. We've even managed to figure out how to tax things that never used to exist. Just not that apparently. I think it's more than taxes.
You're right about the incident-related-deaths though. I read a study once about how stoners actually drive better than drunks. It was put out by USDOT. They did a series of actual tests and found that typically if someone's too stoned to drive, they don't get in the car. Not so with alcohol.


87 grade US gal was up to $4.23 now down to the whopping low price of $4.19

newguy18

averages 4.05 here but i can get it for 3.97.

You cannot find gas with over 92 octane rating around here.

I put over $25.00 of diesel in a 5 gal. can today. We have been having some stolen lately. I put a guy in jail for 2 years a while back. He bent up the tank on my stump grinder while tearing off a locking cap after getting pissed I put it on after getting me a number of times. That damage put him away.

He was selling it for crack and he was on the news before we caught him and held him for the cops.

Therrin

well I don't know about gas, but SODA was on sale at Albertson's supermarket.

But 2 two-liter bottles and get 3 FREE.


So, naturally, I bought 25 two-liter bottles of soda.

Trying to figure out where to PUT them all now....ugh.

newguy18

I pick up 12 packs at winn dixie all day long for 2.99 a piece.
