American Edward J. Claghorn received the first seat belt patent in 1885. In 1930, physicians recommended using lap belts on public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything changed in 1959 when a Swedish engineer hired by Volvo invented the three-point seat belt, which has become the standard in all motor vehicles. Subsequently, in 1968, the first federal seat belt law was introduced, which required all vehicles (except buses) to be fitted with seat belts. In 1984, New York became the first state to require primary seat belt use, and after that, many other states followed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1993, California became the first state to enforce primary seat belt laws, which allow police officers to stop and ticket drivers for not wearing seat belts. The current average seat belt use rate in the U.S. is 91.6%, while in California, it is 97%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">California\u2019s Mandatory Seat Belt Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/iStock-616247450.jpg\" alt=\"Teddy bear in seat belt\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Under California\u2019s Mandatory Seat Belt law, all drivers and passengers are required to wear seat belts.

Children under age eight must be secured in car seats or booster seats in the back seat of the vehicle. Children who are 4\u20199\u2033 or taller may be secured in a booster seat and must also wear a seat belt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not wearing a seat belt can result in a fine of up to $162 and $490 for children under 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seat Belt Safety Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seat belts are crucial to surviving a car accident. You can avoid one of the most fatal outcomes of a crash, being ejected from the vehicle, by wearing safety belts. Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show the benefits of wearing seat belts and the risks of not wearing them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>From 1975 through 2017, seat belts have saved an estimated 374,276 lives.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In 2021, half of passenger vehicle occupants who died in crashes were not wearing a seat belt.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seat belts reduce fatalities by 45% and prevent severe injuries by 50% for front seat passengers.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Airbags alone won\u2019t protect passengers and drivers. An airbag can seriously injure or even kill someone who is not properly buckled up.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seat belt use is lower in the back seat than up front. In 2021, 60% of back seat passengers who died in accidents were unrestrained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter where you sit in a vehicle or how far you are going, it is important to wear your seat belt every time you get in a car. A seat belt can make the difference between life and death in a crash.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wearing Seat Belts Correctly\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A seat belt can only protect you if you wear it correctly. If worn incorrectly, it will fail to prevent harm and can even cause injuries in a crash. Follow these steps to ensure that you and your family wear seat belts properly:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Sit upright with your back against the seat and your feet on the floor. Improper seating positions reduce the effectiveness of a seat belt and may result in injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull the seat belt across your chest and over your shoulder. NEVER place it under your arm or behind your back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust the belt so that it is snug and comfortable. The shoulder strap should run across your collarbone, and the lap belt should rest across your hips.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check that the belt is not twisted or loose.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember, \u201cClick It or Ticket.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Award-Winning California Personal Injury Lawyers\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/\">DK Law<\/a>, your safety and well-being are always important to us.
