Abstract:

Traffic crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States. Wearing seat belts is the easiest and most effective way of cutting the highway death toll—and strong occupant protection laws are the most effective way of increasing safety belt use. Highway deaths could be cut dramatically if states upgraded their laws to improve coverage and enforcement. A model state safety belt use law is available from NHTSA.
