AUTO ACCIDENTS - SEAT BELTS

Seat Belt Safety

Wearing of seat belts has proven to be the most effective means of reducing the rate of auto accident fatalities. Considering that the Federal Highway Administration indicated that over 6,000,000 accidents were reported by police last year, seat belt safety is crucial in protecting human life WHEN an accident happens. Even though many people are getting the message that wearing a seat belt is important, an estimated 80-90% are still using child seats incorrectly.

Incorrect use of shoulder/lap seat belt combinations is also still a problem. As of January 2001, only 17 states had adopted primary seat belt laws that protected all occupants, while all other states have only secondary seat belt laws in place. All states have primary seat belt laws for children, but the laws vary by age of the child. Highway deaths and accidents could be cut dramatically if all states adopted primary seat belt laws for ALL occupants of motor vehicles.
