This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

holy hell. when i'm behind the wheel, the vehicle does not move before everyone is strapped in.

In my country the driver is liable for passengers not wearing their seatbelt. The fine is around €60 per passenger. Most people just pay this back to the driver, but if somebody decides not to, the driver can't do anything about that.

Other than just not drive. Which is a very valid choice.

If your country has decent public transit ofcourse.

Even then. Dude who refuses can either buckle up, or walk. You don't buckle, we all don't get there. See how you get treating your "friends" like that.

Yup. That's my policy as well. If the buckle comes off, I'll pull over immediately and they either walk or put the belt on. That's non-negotiable in my car, and the only excuse is if I'm rushing you to the ER and can't get an ambulance for some reason, and I'm happy to pay the ticket in that case (and would probably refuse to pull over to lights and sirens as well).
