@Joe No idea who freakonomics is, but having a seatbelt crossing you from the left and another crossing from the right, as car seats do, is safer than having only 1 in either direction.

@Ida Cops have a tendency to charge you depending on their mood. Had you gotten bitchy and went off on them, they might have gotten a little more ticket-happy, lol.

That said, I just find some of the laws to not stand the test of reason -- a creative reader of those laws could apply them to a petite individual regardless of whether they are 3 or 33... and there is precedence for unreasonable agents of law enforcement.

@TorbenGundtofte-Bruun lol!

@TorbenGundtofte-Bruun I did it with no elements focused, text highlighted on the page, the search box, a comment field, and an answer field and didn't get anything like that. :confused:

@JeremyMiller Freakonomics was originally a book by Steve Leavitt and Stephen Dubner way back in like 2002, which spawned a podcast which is one of the 5 or so most popular podcasts out there. They use economics and statistics methodologies to analyze social issues and other things, including things like whether laws make sense.

IE, they look at accident statistics and things like that to make their argument, rather than just logic

@Joe Ah. Thanks for the education. Have they found any law which makes sense? ;)

The coinage act of 1792
