Legally mandate the use of safety restraints in the rear seats of vehicles for adults.
Why is this important?
Fatality accidents are on the rise due to the lack of use of safety features which are in every vehicle. Statistics on the National Institute of Highway Safety show that in 2008, states which require the use of backseat restraints showed that 85% of adults in the backseat used their safety belts, compared to the 66% of adults who used them in states which don't require them. 55% of passengers killed in 2008 were unrestrained.
