The seatbelt remains an effective means of reducing injury and avoiding fatality.\u00a0 In January, NHTSA released its latest figures on seatbelt use. The data, covering 2013, shows seatbelt use remained stable across the United States, hovering at about 87 percent. Points of the report include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Seatbelt use increased for motorists traveling in heavy traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Motorists are more likely to use seat belts in states where primary enforcement laws are in effect.<\/li>\n<li>As seatbelt rates increase, rates of unrestrained passenger fatalities decline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2013, NHTSA took aim once again at seatbelt interlock as part of its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/About+NHTSA\/Press+Releases\/ci.NHTSA+Announces+%27Significant+and+Seamless%27+Initiative.print\">Significant and Seamless<\/a> initiative. In this campaign, NHTSA seeks to partner with automobile manufacturers to introduce life-saving technologies in cars.<\/p>\n<p>Seatbelt interlock mechanisms disable a car from being driven if passengers are not wearing restraints. While the measure would improve seatbelt use, it is unclear how motorists might react to a technological requirement to buckle up.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ntsb.gov\/safety\/mwl10_2014.html\">National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)<\/a> also placed a focus on occupant protection. From creating survivable vehicle space in an accident, to developing rules that require restraints for infants on airplanes, the NTSB supports the use of restraints across all modes of transportation in this country.<\/p>\n<p>Seatbelts are an easy way to help yourself, and your family, in the event of an accident. Though you cannot stop others from negligent behavior, you may help loved ones survive an accident by using seatbelts.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one is injured in an automobile accident in Bakersfield, speak with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngwooldridge.com\/personal-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">experienced legal counsel<\/a> at Young Wooldridge, LLP.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/drewwh\/2721822359\/in\/photolist-59w3XH-kW9BK-qzPkAz-cDphCL-6W6trR-o5hMSW-5ZP53P-qbuJ6P-bnjT3D-uQyr8k-8fxG3R-iZHupD-nA3Zvx-5LQTsw-sHC6yq-3Y6PJW-72Rqaa-dSRWyU-jmnGr-8gjija-ba1WUp-8dkSrS-bKPeXv-feGiK4-72Rpkx-nSwMmD-psxmNX-5kBa4C-79YNt-63gzmc-6eJzt4-cbsrDC-6yAxeA-7wbmLq-mK76FH-7QyWgj-5VyLyf-qm13dW-kRCBe-86RAL9-avSHo4-6CZFwq-5t5NQm-amBXgq-amzaBB-4LXkre-oSZorr-q6uKx-auo8HZ-5t618U\">Drewwh <\/a>via <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/legalcode\">Flickr Creative Commons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has kicked off its annual Click It or Ticket campaign, aimed at increasing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[846],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-injury"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Occupant Safety: Focus on the Seatbelt (Clekis-1 - John Price Law Shared 1) - MMG Resources<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/themediabeast.com\/resources\/occupant-safety-focus-seatbelt-clekis-1\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Occupant Safety: Focus on the Seatbelt (Clekis-1 - John Price Law Shared 1)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has kicked off its annual Click It or Ticket campaign, aimed at increasing [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/themediabeast.com\/resources\/occupant-safety-focus-seatbelt-clekis-1\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"MMG Resources\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-03-01T17:41:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-07-10T17:40:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"MediaBeast\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"MediaBeast\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themediabeast.com\\\/resources\\\/occupant-safety-focus-seatbelt-clekis-1\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themediabeast.com\\\/resources\\\/occupant-safety-focus-seatbelt-clekis-1\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"MediaBeast\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themediabeast.com\\\/resources\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/f1e4fbc14f15dffe99af02d0efb60287\"},\"headline\":\"Occupant Safety: Focus on the Seatbelt (Clekis-1 &#8211;
