Driver’s in China are being sold a “self-deceptive” safety belt T-shirts, one that mimics a worn safety belt and helps them avoid the keen eye of the police.
The T-shirt that costs between 35 yuan and 50 yuan online has a stripe that runs from shoulder to the opposite hip.
The penalty for not weaing a seatbelt is roughly $8 and two points on your license. Score a negative 12 points and you are going to want to love the view from the passenger’s seat.
Xue Fengxian from the Shanghai Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Detachment said the driver of a vehicle is required wear seat belts but wearing the T-shirt however, is not illegal.
You might escape the cops, but the Grim Reaper sure is waiting for you to come through the windshield…so buckle up Chans and Mings!
