The following back ground on this seat belt incident from the MSNBC web site; Corzine was riding in the front passenger seat without a seat belt when his SUV, driven by a state trooper at 91 mph, crashed near Atlantic City. The governor has not been cited over the seat belt by police, who have 30 days to act. No decision has been made on Corzine’s case, state police Lt. Gerald Lewis said Thursday. The citizen complaint was filed Wednesday by Larry Angel of neighboring Mullica, Lugg said. Angel, 65, did not respond to a phone message or an e-mail seeking comment. Angel, regularly attends public meetings and comments on elected county officials. He ran unsuccessfully for a municipal office as a Democrat in 2003 and hosts a blog called “Gadfly,” where he referred to the Corzine complaint in a Thursday posting. Tom Shea, Corzine’s chief of staff, has said the governor should be ticketed if he wasn’t buckled up. Corzine spokesman Anthony Coley referred a reporter to those comments Thursday when asked about Angel’s complaint.

(This is from The Denver Post) Spotlight on official drivers of governors – Speeding because the boss is late isn't allowed, a national survey of state travel policies shows. By Angela Delli Santi, The Associated Press, According to an Associated Press survey of travel policies nationwide, governors' drivers - who are state law enforcement officers - are expected to obey traffic and safety laws and not to speed or use warning lights just because their bosses are running late or want to get somewhere quicker. Still, these drivers typically are allowed to speed and use flashers in emergencies, and in some states they are allowed to speed to avoid potential security risks that may come with standing idle in traffic. The survey of gubernatorial travel in all 50 states found: All other governors say they use seat belts, even New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, whose state is the only one without a law mandating seat- belt use. Governors typically sit in the front seat if they're riding alone but in back if aides are traveling with them. Governors may use a plane, helicopter, state car or SUV, depending on their schedule, the weather and the distance they're traveling. Officials in several states reported having no written policy on gubernatorial transport.
