North Carolina law enforcement officers know first-hand the benefits of the seat belt law. More and more adults and children are surviving crashes with less serious injuries or none at all. Seat belts and safety seats are the reason why. All drivers and passengers, in the rear seats as well as in the front seat, ages 16 and older must wear their seat belts. Children less than age 16 are covered by NC Child Passenger Safety Laws. North Carolina Law (NCGS 20-135.2A) www.buckleupnc.org
