A New Jersey state law, set to go into effect in 2011, will require all rear-seat passengers to wear seat belts.
Currently, the state seat belt law only requires the driver and front-seat passenger to buckle up. Research from the Consumer Product Safety Commission shows that rear-seat seat belt use dramatically increases in states with stricter laws, and that rear seat belt use can increase a person’s chances of survival in vehicle accidents by up to 50 percent. New Jersey will become the 23rd state in the nation with a law that requires rear seat belt use.

On March 1, 2008, restrictions regarding the use of cell-phones while driving went into effect in New Jersey. Despite the regulations (and nearly 225,000 citations issued by NJ law enforcement officers) 3,610 accidents and 13 deaths involving drivers on cellular phones have occurred. Officials believe that the regulations will eventually work, but stress that law enforcement officers must stay vigilant and should make sure to issue citations with enough frequency to make sure drivers are aware of the rules.
