Re: IML: Imperial seat belts



I can see where that has happened, although it hasn't happened to me yet.  I went to look at a 1953 Chevy pickup severa years ago and the guy told me a story about being pulled over for only having one tail light.  He told the local cop (young guy) it has only had one tail light, came from the factory that way.  The cop didn't believe him, wouldn't look it up and gave him a ticket.  So the guy goes to court and in the mean time he found the vehicle code section which says vehicles made before some date only need to have one tail light,  goes in and shows the judge the vehicle section.  The judge already knew it though, and after embarrassing the cop dismissed the citation.

Just an interesting note on seat-belts. My Wife, and I have been stopped 2 times, by local police, for seat belt infractions in our 77 Dodge Van. Which was only equipped with lap belts, (which we were wearing) The officers that stopped us, thought Every thing had shoulder belts. They were younger than the van!!.Just thought you'd get a rise out of that. Ya'll have a nice day. Dave (FL.)
