NY State Seat Belt Law

Seat Belts and Car Seats
Last year in New York City 2 out of 3 people killed in traffic crashes were not wearing their safety belts.  When used correctly, safety belts double your chances of surviving a serious car crash.  To reduce risks of serious injury, always wear your safety belt and keep about 10 inches between yourself and the airbag compartment. 

Never place a rear-facing infant seat in the front passenger seat if there is an air bag.  The back seat is the safest place for children to sit.   Make sure they are properly restrained, either buckled into a safety belt if they are under age 7 in a car seat or booster seat.

It's the LAW in New York:  All front seat occupants must buckle up;  All children under 16 years of age, in the front and back seat, must buckle up; All children under 7 must be buckled into a federally-approved appropriate child restraint system; Drivers can receive a fine of up to $100 and three points against their license if a passenger under age 16 is not properly restrained.
