seat belt use

Buckling up practice

Seat belt use is the practice of wearing a vehicle's safety restraints while driving or riding.

The phrase appears most often in safety campaigns, traffic statistics, and legal contexts: Seat belt use has increased dramatically since the 1980s.

Laws mandating seat belt use vary by jurisdiction.
