There will be no warnings. If you are stopped for any reason, you will receive a ticket if you or your children are not wearing seat belts or using child safety seats. Officers do not want to give out tickets but they do want to save lives. You can avoid a ticket by buckling up on every trip, every time you get in the car, no matter how close your destination is.
Seat belts save lives.
In 1999, motor vehicle occupant restraints saved the lives of an estimated 11,197 people over age four. If all passenger vehicle occupants over age 4 used proper restraints, an additional 9,553 lives could have been saved in 1999. In 1999, more than 60 percent of the children killed in traffic crashes were completely unrestrained. Seat belts reduce the risk of death for front seat occupants in passenger cars by 45 percent and the risk of moderate to critical injury by 50 percent. Strong enforcement of adult seat belt laws saves not only adults, but children.
