In Ohio, which occupants who are at least 15 years of age must wear safety belts?

Explanation

Under Ohio law, all front-seat occupants including the driver and all passengers who are under 15 years of age must wear safety belts or suitable child restraints. However, even rear-seat passengers who are at least 15 years of age should wear safety belts. Safety belts have been proven to save lives and reduce injuries ? even in the rear seat. A study conducted in 2015 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Children's Hospital of Philadephia found that unrestrained rear-seat occupants were nearly eight times as likely to sustain a serious injury in a crash as restrained rear-seat occupants.
