Explanation
Wearing a seatbelt is the most effective way to prevent injury or death in the event of a crash. Airbags are designed to work in combination with seat belts, not as a substitute for them. Even if a vehicle is equipped with airbags, there are many scenarios where the airbag alone may not provide adequate protection, such as in a side-impact or rollover crash. Therefore, Illinois law requires all drivers and passengers aged 8 and older to wear safety belts at all times while the vehicle is in motion, regardless of whether the vehicle is equipped with airbags or not.
