Analysis of road accident statistics and the evidence from crash tests showed conclusively that wearing a seat belt VASTLY reduces the chances of injury if you are in a car crash.

Given this evidence the law makers have passed laws requiring car drivers (and passengers) to use seat belt while travelling in a car.

Since these laws were enacted literally thousands of people have been spared horrific injuries (how often do you now hear about facial injuries caused by people being thrown into the wind shield) and society as a whole has benefited because people are not having to have medical treatment and time of work recovering from car accident injuries.

Do you have to wear a seat belt in Wisconsin in a car that is a 1974?

In Wisconsin, the seat belt law requires all drivers and front-seat passengers to wear seat belts in vehicles manufactured after 1966. However, for cars made before 1966, such as a 1974 model, there is no legal requirement to wear a seat belt, although it is strongly recommended for safety. It's important to note that while wearing a seat belt may not be mandatory, it can greatly reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
