Seat belts save lives.
They are the single most effective safety device to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash. Seat belts restrain occupants in the vehicle’s designed protective space, giving them room to live in the event of a crash and prevents them from colliding with other occupants in the vehicle. A seat belt also keeps the driver correctly positioned behind the wheel to help maintain control of a vehicle. The failure to wear a seat belt results in more motor vehicle fatalities in North Dakota than most other factors.
Primary Seat Belt Law
- All front seat and back seat occupants must be buckled up regardless of age.
- Children younger than 8 years of age are required to ride in a child restraint (car seat or booster seat).
- A correctly used seat belt may be substituted for children younger than 8 years of age who are at least 4'9" tall.
Learn more about North Dakota's Primary Seat Belt Law here.
