Photo fry Bmberfy Cook Meredith students comfortable with new seat belt law fry Jo Hodges On Janii^ 1, 1987, North Carolina motorists strapp^ on their seat belts in compliance with the new state law. Seat belt use became mandatoiy and violatDn could be penalized with a $2S fine. The push for nationwide seat beh le^ lations began when U.S. Tianspoftat»>n Secretary Elizabeth Dole proposed that air ba^ be installed in new cars unless state legislanires passed mandatory seat bdt laws. In October 198S, the N.C. General Assembly passed a voluntaiy seat belt law piomoting the use Of seat b^ 1^ both the diiver and front seat passenger. Police officers could issue warning tickels but not stop a motorist solely fbr not wearing a seat belt At the first of this year, the man date^ law went into effect with violatioh punishable by a $2S fine. Seat belt use by passengers in die bant seat is r^uired and violators 16 and older may also be fined. For passengers under 16 not wearinLal seat belt, the driver will be fined $25. . The UNC Highway Research Center released a stuify of compliance to die new law finduig that an amazing percentage of 7S% of all N.C. motorists buckled up in the month of January. That statistic is c^- pared to 2J% in September, 19$S, bcffire the voluntary tow went into effto Also, the number of hi^way deaths has gone down 40% from lM6.Muiy support goups that bvor the seat belt law, sudi as The Belts fbr Safisty Committee, hope to get insurance riles loweied because of ' the kMcACd chaiice or severe autongbile iqjury by wearing seat belts. But recently there have been rumors that the Gen^ Assembly might repeal this controversial measure. “No% Caroli nians for Seat Belt Choice,” a group that believes the mandatoiy seat belt law in fringes on ow constitutional right to free dom of choice, is lobbying strongly for repeal Most Meredith students comply with the new kiw and agree that It shouU remain mandatory, “lalwi^s have worn my seal belt, even before the law,” said Laura Hill, “but I don’t see repealing a law that obviously saves Uves. Nan Rollins agreed and also added, “Even if it is lepealed, ru still wear mine because I bdieve it is in the best interasl of the drive.” ' ^ >
