May 16, 2006 -- Men die more often than women in accidents

Two-thirds of people killed in car accidents are men, according to the National Highway Traffic safety Commission. Women wear seatbelts much more often and, therefore, they live when involved in a crash. If you wear a seatbelt, are you automatically going to live? Not necessarily. But the odds are much higher that you won’t be killed. So, if you’re listening to Clark, please buckle up! Only one state in the country does not have a seat belt law: New Hampshire. The state does not like any government interference in their private lives. But most states have either a primary or secondary seat belt law. A primary seat belt law allows authorities to give drivers a ticket if they can see the driver is not wearing a seat belt. A secondary seat belt law means that officers can only issue a ticket if a driver is pulled over for something else and then the officer realizes he or she was not wearing a seat belt. Either way, you want to “click it or ticket!”
