Seat belt ticket in Pahoa

[birdmove]

Exactly what happened to my wife maybe a year ago. She had unbuckled at the window at Starbucks across from Goodyear in Hilo when she approached the window to pay. Then, as she pulled out into the street, she buckled up again. Police man that she hadn't even noticed puleed her over. When she pointed out the latched seat belt she had on, he said, wlee, you buckled up after you saw me. But she hadn't seen him. She fought it and the judge reduced the fine.

Remember, we had better be buckled up BEFORE we enter the roadway. The police are doing this for a good cause...to save our butts! And to put money into the local system too.
