Explanation
The law requires all drivers, front-seat passengers, and passengers under the age of 18 to wear a seat belt (lap and shoulder) or be properly secured in a federally approved child safety restraint, regardless of their seating position. For adults aged 18 or older in the backseat, wearing a seat belt is not mandatory, but it is strongly advised for their safety.
