Letter: Honk if you like sensible motor vehicle safety laws

Jan 25, 2025

A few years ago we were told that anyone riding inside a vehicle had to have a seat belt on. This makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is how Hawaii’s laws requiring seat belts for people riding in the back of a pickup truck seemingly go unenforced. If you were in a wreck, would you rather be in a car without a seat belt on or in the back of a pickup truck?
