Some seat belt use laws exempt occupants in certain seating positions and in certain types of vehicles, or both. A state-by-state analysis was conducted of the extent to which passenger vehicle occupants killed before the laws went into effect would have been covered by the laws subsequently passed. Only five states had laws that covered all passenger vehicle occupants; the majority excluded 4 to 8 per cent and six states excluded 14 per cent or more. More inclusive laws can reduce injuries and save lives.
