• *w * Illinois may be first state with seat belt law By Cliff Ward Pl&indealer news service Illinois could become the first state to require the use of automobile seat belts if senators agree with their counterparts in the House. Legislation requiring drivers and front-seat passengers to wear the restraints is poised for action in the Senate after clearing the Senate Tran­ sportation Committee on a 6-3 vote last week! The measure cleared the House by a narrow margin last month. "I truly believe that this is necessary to save lives," said Sen. Charles Chew, I>Chicago, committee chairman and senate sponsor of the bill. As many as 400 of the 1,500 people who died on Illinois' high­ ways last year could have lived if they had been wearing seat belts, said Dr. William Adair, of Hie Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.

Elm 385-1125 JSSSm tUMIl «tVCO Si,I He also told the committee that the measure would prevent many serious disabilities that are caused by traffic accidents. "Frankly, I'd like to see myself taken out of a job," Adair said. Mandatory seat belts present some enforcement problems, according to Sgt. Steve Boxer of the Woodstock Police Depart­ ment. "Enforcement would be very difficult," Bozer said. "We have to have probable cause that a violation has taken place to stop a car. We can't just randomly stop cars to check and see if they're wearing their seat belts." However, he said the police would probably be in favor of the seat belt law. "They save lives," Bozer said. "It's a good law in theory. As far as enforcement, it will be a difficult law." The bill also is supported by major automobile manufac­ turers. Rep. John Cullerton, D- Chicago, the House sponsor, said automakers support it because the federal government has said it won't force them to install air bags in cars sold in states with mandatory seat-belt laws. That would make it cheaper, and therefore easier, to sell cars in such states, Cullerton said. "I don't share their motivation, but I share their goal," he said. Sen. Max Coffey, R- Charleston, voted to send the bill to the full Senate for debate, but questioned if the measure were constitutional. He asked if it could be found to interfere with individuals' freedom of choice. Attorney General Neil Har- tigan, who was at the hearing to testify on another bill, told Coffey he favored the proposal and said he would provide an opinion on the measure's con­ stitutionality later. Barbara Richardson of the National Safety Council in Chicago said in a telephone interview that no other states had approved comprehensive m a n d a t o r y s e a t - b e l t requirements. Cullerton said such requirements existed in 30 foreign countries. Richardson said her organization supported the measure as a way of saving lives and reducing iqjuries. Government studies have shown that as many as 18,000 lives could be saved nationally each year if everyone wore seat belts, she said. Preliminary statistics for 1983 show that 44,300 people died in traffic accidents, she said. The use of seat belts is also a defense against drunken drivers, Richardson said. "The safety belt is the best defense for anyone against a drunk driver," she said. "People have survived some terrible accidents just by wearing their seat belts." Hie Mil requires that drivers and front-seat passengers in cars and pickup trucks wear the restraints. Those found in violation could be fined $25. Police would not be allowed to stop motorists to see if thev are complying with the seat-belt law, but would be permitted to issue citations if the driver is stopped for another violation, Chew said. He also said he expected police to issue warnings to motorists, rather than tickets, for first-time infractions. Hie bill would become ef­ fective immediately if approved by the full Senate and signed by Gov. Thompson. PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY.
