Seatbelt Laws
Seatbelt laws are regulations that require drivers and passengers in vehicles to wear seatbelts while the vehicle is in motion. These laws aim to enhance safety and reduce injuries during accidents. Most countries have specific rules about who must wear seatbelts, often mandating that all occupants in the front and back seats buckle up.
Enforcement of seatbelt laws varies by location, with some areas imposing fines for non-compliance. Additionally, many states in the United States have primary enforcement laws, allowing police to stop and ticket drivers solely for not wearing a seatbelt. These laws have been shown to save lives and decrease the severity of injuries in crashes.
