Primary seatbelt laws throughout all states

Primary seatbelt laws throughout all states

The Issue

In 2013, over 32,000 US drivers and passengers died in car accidents. Many could have been saved if they were to wear a seat belt. And this rate continues to rise as new drivers enter the roads.

19 of the 50 states do not have a primary seat belt law that allows police officers to pull drivers over when seat belts are not used. This primary law promotes individuals to wear a seat belt and therefore, promotes safety.
