So, in the State of NH, while it is illegal to be driving a Mack Truck, built by Volvo of Sweden, without a seat belt, it is perfectly legal to be driving a Volvo automobile built by Gelley of China, without a seat belt.
As you may know, I believe that New Hampshire is the one and only state that does not require seat belts to be worn in a car driven by a someone 18 and older. The State of NH loses several million dollars every year in federal funds for the NH-DOT or something because of this lack of a mandatory seat belt law.
