Fewer Missourians Buckling Up

September 21, 2006 By admin

Fewer motorists are buckling up when driving on Missouri’s roads. This year’s seatbelt usage rate has dropped to 75 percent, down from 77 percent a year ago. Nationwide, 82 percent of drivers and passengers buckle up. Jackie Rogers with the State Transportation Department attributes the drop to a lack of knowledge by the motoring public of the importance of wearing a safety belt. Rogers acknowledges the lack of a primary seatbelt law might also be hurting the usage numbers.
