Yesterday while sitting in the inescapable traffic jam that is Austin at 5-7 pm. I noticed a constable's cruiser on my left. I had been under the impression that constables serve warrants and don't deal with traffic enforcement but either way I thought it best to try and sneak on my seat belt. We jockied past each other a few times and eventually he merged into my lane behind the car directly behind me...........Perfect time to slip my seat belt on. I sneaked a peak behind me again only to see the car behind me exit and the cop pull up behind me. Sure enough the lights come on....Busted!
I ended up with a citation for not wearing my seat belt and two warnings for not updating my address and not renewing my registration on time, which was cool as he could have fined me for all of them if he wanted to be a dick about it. I realized how bad of a habit it's become when not even five minutes later I drove off again with my seat belt off.

Man that stinks. How much was the ticket? You never know, maybe he will have saved your life. Florida just passed a law that will allow them to pull you over for not having a seatbelt on...July 1st.
UPDATE your blog Mr Paone.
Ah, sorry. But I agree with Clare, could save your life. Sorry about the ticket though. Hope it's not too bad. Hey, you guys should jump in the car and come see us down here in Houston this week. Nyahaha.
