Seat belt laws in the United States
De fleste love om sikkerhedsseler i USA er overladt til delstaterne. Den første lov om sikkerhedsseler var imidlertid en føderal lov, afsnit 49 i United States Code, kapitel 301, Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, som trådte i kraft den 1. januar 1968, og som krævede, at alle køretøjer (undtagen busser) skulle være udstyret med sikkerhedsseler på alle de udpegede siddepladser. Denne lov er siden blevet ændret til at kræve trepunktsseler på de yderste siddepladser og endelig trepunktsseler på alle siddepladser. I begyndelsen var det frivilligt at anvende sikkerhedsseler. New York var den første stat, der vedtog en lov, som krævede, at bilens passagerer skulle bære sikkerhedsseler, en lov, der trådte i kraft den 1. december 1984. Betjent Nicholas Cimmino fra Westchester County Department of Public Safety udskrev landets første bøde for en sådan overtrædelse.

Seat belt laws in the United States
Most seat belt laws in the United States are left to the states. However, the first seat belt law was a federal law, Title 49 of the United States Code, Chapter 301, Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, which took effect on January 1, 1968, that required all vehicles (except buses) to be fitted with seat belts in all designated seating positions. This law has since been modified to require three-point seat belts in outboard-seating positions, and finally three-point seat belts in all seating positions. Initially, seat belt use was voluntary. New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle occupants to wear seat belts, a law that came into effect on December 1, 1984. Officer Nicholas Cimmino of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety wrote the nation's first ticket for such violation.
