Remember to Buckle Up, St. Louis

Posted: Wednesday, February 15th, 2017

If you’re a driver in St. Louis, don’t forget to buckle up. It’s a matter of life and death, and it’s also a matter of tickets and fines. It’s both the law and the smart thing to do. Cars these days might be safer than ever before, but if you get into an accident, they can’t protect you if you don’t use this important safety feature: the seat belt.

It’s The Law

The numbers don’t lie: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 15,000 lives are saved each year in the United States because drivers and their passengers were wearing seat belts. Just by wearing your seat belt, you’re reducing your risk of dying in a car accident by 50 percent. When seat belts are so effective, why would you refuse to take a simple step to halve your chance of dying in a crash?

Of course, it’s not just a safety issue. It’s the law in Missouri that you have to wear a seat belt. All front seat passengers, the driver, and all passengers under 16 are required to wear their seat belt at all times. Anyone not wearing a seat belt is subject to a hefty fine if caught. Plus, if the driver only has an intermediate driver license, then all passengers regardless of age must be wearing their seat belts.
