Last year in Utah, 270 people died in Utah car accidents. According to KSL News, most are said to have died because they didn’t have their seatbelt on. In fact, the UHP figures that 110 died for the reason that they didn’t have their seat belt on. This cause of death dwarfed other reasons for fatalities, such as excessive speed, fatigue, DUI or other distractions. Simply buckling your seatbelt is said to be the number one thing you can do to preserve your life while driving.
Of course, it is against the law in Utah to not wear a seatbelt while driving or while riding as a passenger as a vehicle. And as a driver of a vehicle, it is the driver’s duty to make sure their passengers are properly buckled, especially children.
