Seat Belt Use

In the event of a crash, seat belt use saves lives. While buckling up is important for all ages, it is especially crucial for teenagers due to their high crash rate.

During the 2008 legislative session, the Iowa Department of Transportation recommended that the legislature pass a law requiring passengers under age 18 to use safety restraints in all seating positions.

Effective July 1, 2010, all motor vehicle occupants under age 18 must be secured by a seat belt, safety harness or child restraint system.
