Georgia law does not require that adult pickup truck drivers and passengers wear seat belts. Our Georgia personal injury law firm has seen scores of cases of death and serious injury that could have been prevented by use of seat belts in pickup collisions.
A bill by state Sen. Don Thomas, R-Dalton, a practicing physician, is being presented in Georgia to require pickup drivers and passengers to wear safety belts. "It will pass if it gets to the floor of the House," said Rep. John Meadows, R-Calhoun. We applaud and support Senator Thomas.
Even if you do not support seat belt laws it makes no sense to treat passenger cars and pickup trucks differently. We have never met a family member against seat belt laws after suffering from the death or serious injury to a loved one.
