In New York, where seat belt use became mandatory January 1, 1985, seat belt use rates increased from 16% before the law to 57% 4 months after the law; fatalities decreased 19%, despite a modest increase in mileage driven (4).
Seatbelts had to be installed into vehicles as of January 1, 1968 due to a federal law. As for using them, New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle o â¦ ccupants to wear seat belts, which went into effect on December 1, 1984.
