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"

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.

you can contest the ticket at the lto.

then learn your lesson. when flagged down keep your seat belt on.

then that sets it off, your ridiculously dark tint, they couldn't see if a good person or a criminal is inside the vehicle... you should only remove the seat belt when the vehicle is not on the road... your so paranoid with safety but did not think that seat belts are still needed in case you are rear ended...

so there you go, not wearing of seat belts while operating a vehicle...

Hmmm Im just thinking what if you still have your seatbelts on, ano kaya dahilan nila for flagging you down?

Premise is you have a dark tint, hindi ka visible from the outside.

So they'll gonna flag down all dark tinted cars praying someone inside is not wearing seatbelt?

Ang turo sa akin noon pag upo mo at bago mo isaksak ang susi uunahin mo muna ang seat belt. Ang pinaka huli mo naman gagawin bago bumaba ng kotse mo ay ang pag tanggal ng seat belt.

Kung pag hinto mo tinangal mo ang seat belt mo iisipin ko talaga na di ka naka seat belt at palusot lang na kakatanggal mo lang ng seat belt.

Hindi normal na bigla mo agad tatanggalin ang seat belt mo the moment na huminto ka. Anyway alam naman ng Diyos kung sino ang nagsisinungaling. Si enforcer ba o si driver.
