Explanation
Wearing seat belts is the law. Always fasten your seat belt and ensure all passengers are properly restrained, or you and/or your passengers may be cited. Pickups are no exception to the seat belt law. Buckling up correctly is the single most effective way to protect yourself in a crash. Wearing both the lap belt and shoulder harness significantly increases your chances of surviving a collision. Failing to wear a seat belt is both dangerous and a violation of state law.
