Breaking: H & M in Car Chase

People have said it didn’t happen in the alarmist way that the spokesman described it. ‘Following’ would seem a more accurate word than ‘chasing’, and NYPD have said the only person driving dangerously was the driver of H&M’s SUV.

Paparazzi, (paps). independent photographers.

I have read the thread Glorianny and no one disputes that they were followed it's the melodramatic way this was reported that's being questioned.

Is it true they weren’t wearing seatbelts? Out of consideration for the safety of the driver, passengers should wear seatbelts.

A photo shows they weren't wearing them Mollygo.

There’s a photo on this thread, about page 4 or 5 maybe

Here it is

Paps here as in breasts probably.

As in the UK, seatbelts are compulsory in NY, so why aren't they wearing them? Did the police that attended issue traffic tickets to all three, or are they above the law? Only a fool doesn't wear their seatbelt, not only to protect yourself, but as you say Mollygo to protect the driver and other passengers.

They certainly do not look stressed

In Tudor times it was slang for ‘breasts’. I find it an ugly word too.

Completely off topic, but I can still recall, as a good wee Catholic girl, sniggering at the gospel reading for 3rd Sunday in Lent ( yes, we knew where to find it in the Mass book!)
‘ Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps which gave thee suck’

sometimes royals don't wear seat belts in order to escape quickly in an emergency.

Do feel free to make a fuss about whether they are royal or not, I would expect no less.

I fear that H&M 'cry wolf' far too often.
They are at risk, obviously, being high profile, but they would improve their safety and be taken more seriously if they toned it down a bit.

Absolutely V3. ✂️✂️✂️

Seatbelts are designed to be quick and fast to undo, in order that they may be easy to undo in an emergency.

Do they wear special difficult to get out of seat belts? if so, why do they not wear the seat belts everyone else wears, which are easier to get out of.

It is much easier to be severely injured or killed if you are not wearing a seat belt - as Princess Diana found to her cost.

Under the circumstances I would have expected Prince Harry to be obsessive about wearing seat belts. In his situation I would.

The taxi was stationary when that photo was taken. The security man got out to clear space around the car. Presumably at that point they didn't know if they were staying in it or not. He cleared the paps away so you have no idea if they put on belts as they left or not.

They looked so calm

I don't see anyone making a fuss about their royal status, but for you to toss in that red herring is no more than I'd expect.

Are you suggesting that the USA should allow our royals to break their laws? Nowhere in that article does it state they are immune from prosecution in this country let alone while in other countries. Do you think we should all have the right to opt out of wearing seatbelts in case we need to make a quick escape?

Rosie51 I'm not suggesting anything. I'm showing you that Royals sometimes don't wear seatbelts because there is a perception that its easier to escape dangerous situations then.

I'm not supporting that, or complaining about it. I didn't write the article, so the subliminal anger that is being directed at me is a bit misplaced.

Subliminal anger?

Volver, why do you habitually chose to hang out with people you clearly don’t like?

That’s a wee bit childish Fanny I wouldn’t call being on here ‘hanging out’ sounds like youth club.

Fair enough Jacky - ‘fraternise with’ is that okay?
I have to tread lightly, let’s put it that way

*Volver*, why do you habitually chose to hang out with people you clearly don’t like?

I think the majority of us know the answer to that question 😉
