An article in The Wall Street Journal on Thanksgiving holiday travel reports on a UB study that showed that back-seat passengers who aren't wearing seatbelts are three times more likely to die in a head-on crash than belted passengers, and drivers are twice as likely to be killed if the passengers behind them aren't belted in. The article is not available online.
