Georgia Pickup Truck Drivers Will Now Be Required To Buckle Up
Georgia injury lawyers know that many victims of automobile accidents and trucking accidents would not have sustained serious injured if they had been wearing a seat belt at the time of the collision. Unfortunately many deaths have resulted from the failure to buckle up. Years ago Georgia passed legislation requiring seat belt use for occupants of automobiles and vans; however, pickup trucks were exempted. This week however Georgia's lawmakers passed a seat belt bill requiring even drivers of pickups to buckle up. For many years, such legislation was defeated by pressure brought to bear from legislators who represented rural constituents.
