New Law requires all New Jersey automobile passengers to wear seat belts.

In the event of a crash, unbelted back seat passengers become bullets, putting not only themselves, but everyone in the vehicle at risk. That’s because unbelted back seat passengers continue to move at the same rate of speed as the vehicle they are riding in until hitting something – the seat back, the dashboard, the windshield, the driver or another passenger.  It’s also not uncommon for unbelted passengers to be thrown from a vehicle and either crushed by that vehicle or another on the road.
