Laws - View Law: SEATBELTS

The law says that everyone in the front seat of a vehicle has to wear a seat belt. Sometimes a seat belt is called a vehicle restraint. It is the driver’s responsibility to make sure that any passenger in the front seat under the age of sixteen uses the vehicle restraint. (ARS 28-909)

This includes the following:

Have the lap and shoulder belt properly adjusted and fastened while the vehicle is in motion.
If only a lap belt is installed where the occupant is sitting, have the lap belt properly adjusted and fastened while the vehicle is in motion.

On 04/16/03 lauren from IL said: i think seat belt laws are bad i mean all the other laws for drivers are for innocent people who may get hurt from another driver but the only person u are hurting when ur not puttin on ur seatbelt is YOU and no one else and if u sai that ur in the back n u can get thrown into the front seat i dont think it will do that much damaga and i totaly agree i thinkkk all it is is a law to collect money its such a bad law!
On 03/11/03 Bruce from WA said: Seat belts should be a personal choice. The reason for the law is the collection of fines without having to initiate a tax. Just ask the law enforcement agencies how much they collect on those fines each year and you'll see it is a money-making law. Sure, driving with a seat belt is safe. But setting a speed limit of 5 miles an hour would save FAR more lives. Yet no one is begging for such a law. Either extend this safety by forcing everyone to wear foam rubber suits or allow it to be a personal choice as it should be.
On 02/26/03 Kristie from TX said: I defently think that seat belt are essential! I have had friends who were almost killed because they weren't wearing a seat belt. My parents taught to always were your seat belt. Even if we are in the parking lot at a store and just going to a little store across the steet I put on my seat belt. You never know when something might happen and you CAN'T pause life to put on a seat belt!!
On 01/08/03 Crystal from AZ said: It isn't just the passengers in the front seat who are in danger...unbuckled passengers in the rear seats cause MORE danger to even a buckled-up front seated passenger! In a collision, an unbuckled rear-seated passenger would be thrown against the back of a front seat, and cause more potential harm to the front-seated passengers! Think about that next time you or your passengers are "too cool" for seat belts or "aren't going that far."
