Comment on Wear your seatbelt
unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 9 hours agoIn Germany you're also responsible for the safety of your passengers. If you get pulled over and someone in your car is not wearing a seat belt, you will get fined. You're driving a multi-ton death machine, you're responsible for taking care of the people in it.
Also, someone not being buckled can be a danger for other people as well. Depending on the accident an unbuckled Person can become a projectile and severely injure or kill others.

That’s absolutely not true. Just read the 🦆ing law. The fines can be found in BKatV, Anlage (zu §1 Absatz 1).
Nr. 100 says “Vorgeschriebenen Sicherheitsgurt während der Fahrt nicht angelegt; 30€” which clearly states that YOU get fined for not wearing a seatbelt.
Nowhere does it say anything about transporting someone else who isn’t wearing a seatbelt, except for children who are explicitly mentioned in Nr. 98 and 99: “Ein Kind mitgenommen ohne für die vorschriftsmäßige Sicherung zu sorgen”.
Even if the clear language of Nr. 100 would have left any doubts, the fact that the numbers talking about children explicitly mentions transporting someone else shows that that’s not the case for grownups.

Forking shirt, I swear whenever I want to. And if I don’t want to, I don’t.
Neither will some count at Google or some motherforker stop me from swearing, nor will some clockmucker on lemmy force me to 🦆ing swear.
Fuck yeah!
