Were you wearing your seat belt?<\/p>\n<p>Many\u00a0people oppose the idea of government enforcing the use of seat belts. Something about feeling forced to do this one particular task is infuriating to many; an infringement on freedom of choice is the argument. We even had someone troll us on Twitter for promoting a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/click-it-or-ticket-saving-lives\/\">Click It or Ticket<\/a> initiative earlier this year. While we respect people&#8217;s preferences and opinions, the fact is that seat belts save lives;\u00a0nearly 63,000 of them from 2009 to 2013 in fact. Are there instances where seat belt use caused more harm than good in a crash? Yes, \u00a0but by and large,\u00a0it is safer to buckle up.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Not only can wearing your seat-belt save your life and prevent you more serious injury in the event of a car crash, it\u2019s also the law in all but one state; New Hampshire. Seat belt laws, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/cell-phone-laws-by-state-bans-while-driving\/\">state laws for cell phone use<\/a>, are divided into two different categories for adults:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Primary Law<\/strong> &#8211; An officer can pull you over and ticket you for not wearing your seat belt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secondary Law<\/strong> &#8211; An officer can only give you a ticket for not wearing your seat belt if they have pulled you over for a different offense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This type of primary and secondary classification does not apply to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/car-seat-laws-by-state-child-safety\/\">child seat belt laws<\/a> which are typically targeted for children under 8 years old.\u00a0Below are state seat belt laws for adults for each state, the type (primary or secondary), its required use (driver, front seats, back seats), the monetary fine for a 1st offenses, and in the last column, the number of people \u00a0who died in a car crash in 2013 who\u00a0were not wearing their seat belt. It is important to note that had these individuals worn their seat belt, there are no guarantees\u00a0that they would have survived.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>STATE<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"119\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Type<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"181\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Required Seat \u00a0 \u00a0Use<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"135\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>1<sup>st<\/sup> Offense Fine<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"165\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><u>Not<\/u><\/strong><strong> restrained &amp;

According to a 2012 online query conducted by the CDC, car crashes are the number one killer of teens in the U.S.\u00a0 Teens have the lowest rate of seat-belt use compared to any other age group and they also engage in dangerous driving behaviors like distracted driving and speeding more often than divers of other age groups.<\/p>\n<p>If you are the parent of a teen, make sure you are effectively communicating the importance of seat belt use both when they ride as passengers and when they begin to drive themselves. This message needs to be re-enforced often along with assuring that they practice other safe driving habits like avoiding drunk, distracted, drugged, and drowsy driving among other things. If you are teen, remember\u00a0this: if you are between the age of 16 and 19, you are THREE TIMES more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle accident as compared to drivers 20 or older. Wearing your seat belt can help cut your risk of serious injury and death by HALF.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Effectively Wearing Your Seat-Belt<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use the lap and shoulder belt: While it may feel more comfortable to move the shoulder belt behind you after putting on your seat belt, it reduces the ability of a seat-belt to protect you in the event of a crash. The lap belt keeps your butt in the seat, but it\u2019s the shoulder belt keeps your chest and head from slamming into the steering column, windshield, or even the airbag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Distance yourself from the steering column: We know there is a height factor to this but you should sit as far back from the steering wheel\u00a0as is reasonable\u00a0without compromising your ability to operate the vehicle. While shoulder belts are meant to keep you from hitting the objects in front of you, they don\u2019t work as well if you are kissing the windshield when you drive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Buckle up <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">every time<\/span>: A short 5 minute drive to the store may seem like an okay time to skip the belt but creating the habit of always buckling up will not only benefit you,\u00a0it will likely influence passengers, like your kids, to also make it a habit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been involved in a motor vehicle accident?
