Isn't this against the law in NJ?
That being said, I wish the governor a speedy recovery. This is nothing to laugh at - it's quite serious.
Given the injuries listed, it sounds like the governor may not have been wearing his seatbelt.
It will be the drivers fault for not insisting that Corzine have his seat belt on.
The liberal way......blame someone else!
I was listening to WABC this morning and some idiot had the nerve to say it was Imus fault.... “ but if” he did not have to go meet with the Rutgers Basketball team and Imus.”
Perhaps if the NJ voters were smart he would not have been elected.

He was not wearing his seatbelt, that much is known. Stupid on his part.
I was thinking the same. If that were us, the insurance probably wouldn't pay for our injuries.
What? To sit in the front passenger seat? Are you joking?
If you meant the speculation about not wearing a seatbelt, you should have mentioned that instead.
Yes, I meant to say that in Post 1--forgot the seatbelt part. He was in the front seat and not wearing a seatbelt. I think that's against the law in NJ.
New Jersey’s Seat Belt Law:
(NJS 39:3-76.2f)
* Applies to all passenger vehicles including vans, pickup trucks and SUV's, that are required to be equipped with seat belts.
* Applies to all passengers, who are at least 8 years of age but less than 18 years of age, and each driver and front seat passenger of a passenger automobile, operated on a street or highway. All occupants are required to wear a properly adjusted and fastened seat belt system.
* Makes the driver responsible for proper seat beltuse by all occupants who are under the age of 18.
A minor thing, I agree but, not the best example a governor could set.
Wow! Another accident? Didn’t he just have one yesterday?
I believe that it's against the law in all 50 states - Clinton's federal highway funds "blackmail" made sure of that.
Regardless, the laws are only for the "little people" - a democRAT governer shouldn't be expected to have to obey them.
If he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt, in FL it IS the driver’s fault........$75 per person........
LOL (guiltily)
I don't think so...my wife and I frequently drive through NJ and, inevitably, one of us is always sitting in the front passenger seat.
I guess even being a billionaire doesn’t guarantee you have common sense.
Sorry. Couldn’t resist. I don’t know how many times I have already seen this. Even Fox News thought it was of utmost importance for us to see the highway patrolman being put into the ambulance — not once, but multiple times.
I wonder if he was in the front seat, in the middle, with the driver’s hand on his knee. Now that would be news....
Most won’t say this so I’ll be the proxy. I don’t care if he recovers or not. My prayers will not include him (he’s way too far down the list).
