| 摘要： | Primary seat belt laws are associated with higher self-reported seat belt use rates and fewer traffic fatalities following enactment. Primary laws allow police to issue a citation solely upon observation of a seat belt violation. In contrast, secondary laws require that police first observe another violation (e.g., speeding) before being able to issue a seat belt citation. States with primary laws have higher observed seat belt usage rates than those with secondary laws. As of July 2008, 26 States had primary belt laws. Maine upgraded its seat belt law from secondary to primary, effective September 20, 2007, with an educational grace period to April 1, 2008.
