We all do stupid things from time to time. I admit I’ve done quite a few stupid things in my life, but right now I feel like mentally slappy dear old Hubby. Ben, I won’t be saying anything you haven’t already heard me say in the last few hours.
It seems he has this problem with refusing to take the few extra seconds needed to pull his seat belt across his chest and click it into place. Because not wearing a seat belt is now a primary law in SC you can be pulled over for it instead of being pulled over for something else and receiving the seat belt ticket as a secondary. It has been this way for a few years now, and he knows this. Yet he still takes off without a seat belt most of the time, and no matter how many times I ask him to put it on he doesn’t listen.
So last week he got pulled over for a seat belt violation. The fine is small, $25, but that’s not the point. The point is you’d think he’d click it after getting the ticket, but of course not. He goes and gets himself pulled over again today for another seat belt violation, so now on top of already fighting our budget to figure out how our bills are going to get paid next months I have to come up with an extra $50 to pay the tickets.
You’d think after 2 tickets in about a week’s worth of time he’d buckle up, right? Nope. We got in the car tonight, and I had to remind him three times to put it on! UGH!
