NC Seat Belt Law - G.S. 20-135.2A
Difference between what is legal
and what is recommended

updated 08-15-11

Most drivers and passengers
of all ages in most vehicles are covered
by North Carolina occupant restraint laws (either the Child Passenger Safety law or Seat Belt Law). However, ALL occupants
in ALL seating positions in ALL vehicles equipped with seat belts should ride buckled up to help protect all
occupants. Unbuckled occupants can injure buckled up occupants as well as themselves when they are thrown around or
out of the car in a crash.
At no age or size should any child or adult ride unrestrained in a vehicle or ride in a non-belted position such as the back of a station wagon or bed of a pickup truck.
