Senate Bill 2121 would make not wearing a seat belt a primary offence

BISMARCK - After passing in the Senate, a bill to allow primary enforcement of seat belts will be heard in the House.
Senate Bill 2121 was introduced by Sen. Brad Bekkedahl, R-Williston, in January on behalf of the coalition representing the Vision Zero Campaign.
“Seat belts are the single most effective safety device to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash,” he said.
Bekkedahl said he had seen first-hand what being unbelted in an accident will do to a person.
“Nearly half of all of our motor vehicle fatalities were unbelted in 2019,” he said “Statistics prove that a stronger seat belt law in our state will save lives.”
