Usually when you hop in a car with a bunch of friends and say “buckle-up,” the rear seat passengers probably choose to ignore it or know that it isn’t legally required for rear seat passengers in their state to wear a seat belt.
Well, all that’s about to change because states are moving to close that loophole in the seat belt law that allows rear-seat adult passengers in half of the states to ride around without buckling up, legally.
A total of six states including Indiana, Kansas…

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in young children, but many of these fatalities can be prevented. Research has shown that the use of child safety seats can help reduce injuries and deaths in a crash, and new findings support the use of mandated boosters.

The state of New Jersey is set to become the 23rd state (when the law goes into effect in 2011) to require all rear passengers to ride restrained. Signed by Governor Jon Corzine before he left office, the rear seat belt law will be a secondary offense—meaning drivers will have to be pulled over for another offense to receive a ticket.
