From New Jersey Gov. Corzine Leaves Hospital After Being Seriously Injured in Car Crash:

CAMDEN, N.J. — An emotional Gov. Jon S. Corzine was discharged from a hospital Monday and begged forgiveness for not wearing a seat belt during a crash 18 days earlier in which he sustained critical injuries.

“I understand that I set a very poor example for a lot of young people, a lot of people in general,” a teary-eyed Corzine said.

“I certainly hope the state will forgive me. And I’ll work very hard to set the right kind of example,” Corzine said from his wheelchair outside the hospital.

“I’m sorry officer. Please forgive me for not wearing my seat belt! I know I’m setting a poor example for my kids in the back seat and other people on the highway. I’ll do better in the future, I promise!”

Would that get you or I out of a ticket? Hell no. There would be consequences for us, and there should be consequences for him.
