Drivers in China, apparently unwilling to submit to the intrusion and burden of seatbelt laws, have come up with a creative workaround: The seatbelt t-shirt!
The shirts feature a graphic with a stripe that runs from shoulder to hip, creating the illusion that the driver is wearing his or her seatbelt while seated.
They cost $8, which is way less than a ticket. Score?
Police have begun cracking down on drivers for not wearing their seatbelts after a rash of fatal collisions resulting in people being thrown from cars.
Which, of course, makes one wonder why more drivers don’t ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR THEM for their own benefit … but we digress.
Gotta stick it to a repressive regime somehow?
