    Not wearing seatbelts and fucking around with a phone are hardly victimless crimes and those laws that punish such offenses were written in blood. Never understood people taking safety regulations lightly. It’s not a fucking suggestion.

      Who is the victim of not wearing a seatbelt?

      Is it one of those ‘you’re not allowed to do things that only affect you because we’re a society’ type things where we should ban video games and sweet foods too?

        I guess it could be argued that everybody via higher potential expense via NHS?

        And the other part, mobile phones, is certainly not victimless crime.

        I wonder constantly how in this day and age people still don’t use hands free either in-car, speaker, or BT systems if they really MUST be talking “all the time”.
