Are there no seat belt laws in USA?

Seatbelt and Helmet laws are on a state-by-state basis over there...

In more than 20 of their states, wearing seatbelts in cars, or hemets on motorbikes, is not compulsory..

According to Governors Highway Safety Program (the state's voice on highway safety), August 2016.................

Seat belt laws are divided into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary seat belt laws allow law enforcement officers to ticket a driver or passenger for not wearing a seat belt, without any other traffic offense taking place. Secondary seat belt laws state that law enforcement officers may issue a ticket for not wearing a seat belt only when there is another citable traffic infraction.

34 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have primary seat belt laws for front seat occupants.
15 states have secondary laws. In many of these states, the law is primary for younger drivers and/or passengers.

New Hampshire has enacted neither a primary nor a secondary seat belt law for adults, although the state does have a primary child passenger safety law that covers all drivers and passengers under 18.

Rear Seats: 28 states, D.C., Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, have laws requiring belt use for all rear seat passengers. In 17 of these states, D.C., Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, the law is primary.

Specific laws vary greatly from state to state, depending on the age of the rider and in what seat he or she is sitting. This chart covers seat belt laws for adults and young adults only. For requirements for infants, toddlers, and children, see GHSA's Child Passenger Safety Laws chart.

Well that told me!

Yep, easier than reinventing the wheel. If someone's already said it all, why repeat it.

Stormee, had started a entire topic about this very issue back in March, http://www.newsfixboard.com/t14674-seat-belts?highlight=seat+belts

That was quite a decent discussion!
