If you were a rebel, you wouldn't have even stopped when he lit you up. You would've flipped him off, then led him on a low-speed chase through Marin...in a white Bronco even

Yikes. I wear my seatbelt like that all the time. I know it isn't the "safest" way to wear it but I HATE the way the belt feels across my neck. I HATE it so much that it's actually a distraction to my driving. Good thing I don't drive a car too often. Motorcycles, bicycles, and unicycles are a much better choice of transportation.

I think that's been done, in a Ford F250, but not with good results...

Police arrested the suspect and identified him as Corbino. At the county jail, Corbino described his occupation as motorcycle racer, according to the booking log.

At least he didn't say AFM Motorcycle Racer.

"Concentrated cannabis means the separated resin, whether crude or purified, obtained from marijuana." Health &  Safety Code 11006.5.

C'mon, journalist, be more specific. Don't just quote the police report. I want to know what kind of concentrated cannabis

What's the code section on the ticket, Vin?  edit:    It's probably this http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27315.htm

make the beast with two backs him.  Show me how you weren't properly wearing your seatbelt.  Where is "proper" seatbelt use defined to include that it be over your chest and not under your arm?

Or, better yet, if he made a clerical mistake on the citation (like citing the wrong section of the Vehicle Code) you can get the ticket thrown out completely...regardless of interpretation.

he the code is 27315 (d) which only says "A person ( )2 shall not operate a motor vehicle on a highway unless that person and all passengers 16 years of age or over are properly restrained by a safety belt."

You are right in that the law doesn't define "properly".  He mentioned something about having to follow the manufacturers recommended seatbelt use as a basis for what proper is, but that isn't written in the Mandatory Seat Belt Law either.  I have some reservations fighting the ticket because of section (h)

"(h) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 42001, ( )1 a violation of subdivision (d), (e), or (f) is an infraction punishable by a fine of not more than twenty dollars ($20) for a first offense, and a fine of not more than fifty dollars ($50) for each subsequent offense. In lieu of the fine and any penalty assessment or court costs, the court, pursuant to Section 42005, may order that a person convicted of a first offense attend a school for traffic violators or ( )3 another court-approved program in which the proper use of safety belts is demonstrated." 

I don't feel like paying court costs or going to traffic school so some douchebag can show me how to "properly" wear my seat belt
