Seatbelts Save Lives
Did you know that 70 percent of all deaths and injuries related to SUVs are caused by ejection because the victims were not wearing seatbelts?
That is exactly what happened when a “Rollover Crash Seriously Hurts 4 Children and 1 Woman who were Unrestrained” in Pittsburgh.
The government recognizes the fact that seatbelts have saved many lives by securing motorist and passengers alike during crashes and collisions.
That is why each state is implementing its own seatbelt law.
In California, the state is implementing the primary seatbelt law where police officers can cite a driver for not wearing a seatbelt even if there is no other traffic offense.
It covers everyone aged 16 or older and applies to both front and back seats.
A fine of $20 will also be charged for the first offense.
Seatbelts are not just an accessory in a car; it is a safety feature that can be the difference between life and death.
