Explanation
Seat belts should always be worn when driving or riding in a vehicle. They are a vital safety measure that protects occupants in the event of a crash. Except for New Hampshire, all states and the District of Columbia require adult front-seat occupants to wear seat belts, and many states also have laws covering rear-seat passengers. Seat belts save lives by preventing occupants from striking the windshield, other parts of the vehicle, or other passengers. To ensure safety, all drivers and passengers must wear seat belts or use appropriate child restraints.
