Mandatory seat belt law

The state trooper should have insisted that the governor of NJ buckle up.......lol, no chance of that. Typical behavior of our current "ruling class". What's "good" for you and me......not so good for them.

According to today's newscast and local paper, the drivers (state troopers) were quoted as saying that whenever one of them would ask the Governor to buckle up in the past he got testy. Despite the protection of a Chevy Suburban, he really got tossed about. According to the driver and rear seat passenger Corzine was thrown on impact and wound up in the rear compartment of the vehicle. He's 6'3" and probably 200+ pounds, it's just a good thing he didn't hurt the rear seat passenger on his way flying to the back of the vehicle. The driver and passenger who were both belted walked away from the accident. With 12 broken ribs, a broken sternum, 2 fractured vertebrae, a crushed clavicle and double compound fracture of the right leg, he's going to need at least 6 months of rehab according to the doctors. My physician was quoted in the article and he said he'd be in a wheel chair for quite a while since he couldn't use crutches for the broken leg due to all the upper body fractures. I guess from now on he won't give the trooper/chauffeurs a hard time when they ask him to buckle up.

Anyone see the 'Wear your safety belt' New Jersey Dept Motor Vehicles poster which has both Gov Corzine and a crash dummy emerging through a shattered windshield with the Gov exclaiming 'Save your head, wear your safety belt.' And now what with the crash, he can become the safety belt crash dummy, himself! As Rodney Dangerfield would say. 'Is he kidding, hey what a dummy for a guy worth 100+ million!.' Way-to-go Gov, and he is a Democrat too, so he cannot claim Republicanism as a totally understandable excuse........ahem.

Just googled Jon Corzine wikipedia for his biography including a link to a NY Times article April 14, 'Corzine faces severe challenge in intensive care.'

Smart(?) guy- very dumb practice, not wearing his seatbelt...former Marine Corps sergeant, ceo Goldman Sachs and US Senator.
