Seat belts save lives! You have heard it for years, but somehow you just still don't believe that you will ever need them. No one ever does. But the simple fact is that 1 out of every 10 drivers on the road will be involved in a traffic crash at some point in their lives, and you stand a far better chance of surviving a serious injury crash if you are wearing a seat belt.

Oklahoma Seat Belt Usage 2012

The 2012 statewide survey of safety belt use in Oklahoma was conducted in 19 counties at 299 observation sites during the month of June. The sampling procedures were entirely new in response to rule changes issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).Oklahoma was one of the first states to have our new methodology approved for the 2012 restraint usage survey.

In 2012, a total of 29,675 drivers and front-seat outboard passengers were observed. 83.8% of people were properly restrained. There were significant variations in usage rates across regions of the state, by road type, and by individual counties.
