Seatbelt ticket tossed for armless Canadian

A Saskatchewan man with no arms won a court battle to contest a $160 fine for not wearing a seatbelt and he is now asking for an apology. Steve Simonar, 55, of Saskatoon, whose fine was tossed out in court Tuesday, said his truck has been custom modified for his needs, but he is unable to wear the seatbelt, QMI Agency reported Wednesday. Simonar, who lost his arms 28 years ago, said the seatbelt law was not on the books when he started driving again, and Saskatchewan Government Insurance has now issued him an exemption to the law.
