That's an excellent question. Out of the 141 New Hampshire traffic fatalities in 2022, how many were actually caused by people not wearing seat belts?

Is surprising to see that Massachusetts which has an adult seat belt law still had the second lowest usage of 77.5%, after New Hampshire with a 75.5%-usage in 2022.

When I think of driving fatalities without a seat belt, I first think of roll-overs where the driver is thrown out of the car or something but not wearing a seat belt can go beyond that with driving fatalities.

This Feb 25, 2023 ...... Making It Personal: Why New Hampshire Needs An Adult Seat Belt Law ..... http://www.seacoastcurrent.com/makin...seat-belt-law/ ...... talks about seat belts and NH driving fatalities.
