Make /seatbelt unenforceable by PD

[Late]

I understand /sb was made so that it stops people from being flown out of cars, that's fine. However it's pretty silly IMO when the PD can pull you over and give you a 2.5k ticket because you haven't done the command. 

 

A lot of players might not even know the command exists and making you RP putting on your seatbelt everytime is an annoyance and does not add anything to RP other than giving the police a reason to ticket you. 

Putting on your seatbelt in real life is an instinctive thing, on par with putting the key in your ignition or closing your car door, which thankfully we aren't forced to RP. So why are we being forced to type an extra command everytime we drive our cars. 

 

What's worse is you can't even RPly say your seat-belt is on in a traffic stop unless you did /sb with out the LSPD then calling you a liar OOCly. 

 

Thoughts?

A feature people don't know is that you can get launched out of your car and /sb actually helps you with that, especially when you are in the passanger seat.

 

I'm not supporting this but, then again, it's my opinion

The best solution would be a toggle-able auto-seatbelt when you enter the car, if for some reason you don't want to have a seatbelt on.

 

The vast majority of the people the vast majority of the time would want a seatbelt on for the IC reasoning of the police and the OOC one of not wanting to be killed by desync, but it's pretty hard to remember to do OOCly so it would make sense to it just to be done automatically when entering the vehicle.

Yes! Good idea. I personally use /sb most of the time, but that would be a good addition.

I /sb by reflex every time I enter a car, but I legit cbf to /me it every time (especially if I'm by myself) and I certainly don't screenshot it (that would be really a new whole level of dumb, to have people screenshot when they start their car and /sb)

So it would definitely lead to some pretty dumb interactions with PD =/ Not sure about the whole thing to be honest.

This is what i'm saying, you're being ICly punished for not remembering to do an OOC command and it's RETARDED

This has happened to me in game, I was driving at highspeeds down vinewood, the cop pulled me over and using the seatbelt thing he was able to give 3 warnings on my license with ease.

 

I personally don’t remember to type /sb whenever I get in a car. I did try give the excuse of taking it off when I pulled over, the cop insisted that I didn’t have it on, even though I was driving at 130mph and realistically I doubt he’d be able to noticed if I had a seatbelt on whilst driving.

Just follow laws. Everyone wants to remove law enforcement power and nobody wants to roleplay. If we're taking out the seatbelt law we should make it to where you don't fly out when you crash into stuff.

To be honest I didn't know about this command until I've saw this post.

If it's there to keep, then at least add it in the driving test so everyone is aware.

@Froge I don’t mind roleplaying it but it has to be done properly :D Would you be able to catch such a small detail when the car flys past you at 130mph?
