Do 18 year olds have to wear a seat belt?

Nobody has to wear a seatbelt, but their are consequences to that decision.

Every state in America has a seatbelt law which requires every person in the vehicle to wear a seatbelt or they could get a ticket.

Another consequence is that you could die from even the smallest of fender benders if not properly strapped in.

Try this if you dare (and if you're really stupid): Run at a brick wall as fast as you can (about 7 miles per hour) and try to stop yourself with your arms. That's what it's going to be like if you hit another car going just 7 MPH. Now try to imaging hitting something at a whopping 25 MPH?

Wear your seatbelts!
