New Jersey Poised to Strengthen Seat Belt Laws
Governor Coresine is set to sign a new seat belt law that will permit police officers to pull drivers over for failure to wear a seatbelt. Although failure to wear a seatbelt is currenly illegal, the new law will allow police officer to stop motorist for failing to wear a seatbelt even if they have not committed any other violations. Ironically, it was Governor Coresine that was injured when in an accident because he failed to wear a sealt belt. Buckle up now or Buck up later.
