Technically if it's not being worn properly you have failed to wear your seatbelt I guess. On what grounds and with what success you could appeal I really wouldn't like to speculate.

Did the Police not offer councelling instead of a fine?

I mean, wearing your belt like that means you may be unfit to drive ....

So you wear your seabelt in an utterly stupid manner and then wonder if it's fair you got pulled.

Well, how about "serves you right" for an observational comment?

Jesus, there's one born every minute...

under armpit means you dont lose your arm in high impact collision.....
I would contest it but find out if its worth doing so ie what is the law on it?

Yea, ironic that as the baby would be killed instantly in a shunt due to the Mother's massive stomach injuries wearing the belt like that.

Contest it? One coppers word against yours doesn't sound like proof of guilt to me. We all roll over far too easy in the UK ...

No point contesting it ,seatbelts are to be worn correctly.If they are worn any other way they will not protect you - which is why he fined you.
