the seatbelt thing should be your option...i do wear mine all the time...but its your life its should be your choice if you wanna wear it...if you dont its only got the possibility to hurt you and only you

Exactly. I can understand the law for minors because they obviously shouldnt make alot of choices on their own at that age. But for adults this law is just complete BS. The only reason they have it is for the states benefit. $20 in their pocket everytime they get someone, and the only reason they care about saving lives is so they can tax their money before they get it and then when they spend.
Fucking government is so fucked up, there are good things about it also, but some things are just such bs.

A friend of mine rolled a car in bismarck and was ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle hit a tree about 8 feet high in the air crushing the vehicle before it came back down. They said if he had been wearing his seatbelt he would have more than likely died due to being crushed by the tree.

Seatbelts IMHO are a 50/50 deal. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they're not so great. However I feel much safer w/ an 8pt rollbar and a 5 pt harness than I do w/ just a regular seatbelt and no cage.

And then they of course give you a ticket for no seatbelt also, such bullshit. If you are 18+ it is YOUR choice to wear a seatbelt, there is no way in hell that law can be consitutional.

39-04-11. Display of number plates and tabs. Except as otherwise specifically provided, a person may not operate or drive a vehicle on the public highways of this state unless
the vehicle has a distinctive number assigned to it by the department, and two number plates, bearing the distinctive number conspicuously displayed, horizontally and in an upright position, one on the front and one on the rear of the vehicle, each securely fastened, except number plates assigned to a motorcycle, trailer, or housetrailer must be attached to the rear thereof. When only one number plate is furnished for an apportioned vehicle licensed under the international registration plan as authorized in section 39-19-04, truck tractor, or semitrailer, the plate must be attached to the front of the apportioned vehicle or truck tractor and the rear of the semitrailer. The bottom of each number plate must be at a height of not less than twelve inches [30.48 centimeters] above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands. Each plate must be mounted in a manner that does not cover any words, letter, or number on the plate. As far as is reasonably possible, the plates must at all times be kept free and clear of mud, ice, or snow so as to be clearly visible and all number plates, markers, or evidence of registration or licensing except for the current year must be removed from the vehicle. All vehicle license plates issued by the department continue to be the property of the state of North Dakota for the period for which the plates are valid. An annual registration tab or sticker for the current registration year must be displayed on each number plate, in the area designated by the department for the tab or sticker, in those years for which tabs or stickers are issued in lieu of number plates.
