 | | Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have laws that permit police to pull over drivers not using their seat belts. |
 | | But Sen. George Allen, R-Va., who offered the opposing amendment, said states should be allowed to come up with their own plans for increasing seat belt use without having to abide by a federally imposed formula. |
 | | The 21 states with primary safety belt laws are Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington. |
