Unlike driving a car in NH, drivers of big trucks, trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 12,000-lbs or more, are required by federal law to wear their seat belt. This gets enforced by the local and state police, and not wearing their seat belt is a violation with a fine of something like $125(?) plus maybe one point(?) on insurance.

Seems like wearing the seat belt probably helped in this roll over?

Are passengers in big trucks required by federal law, enforced in all 50-states, to wear their seat belt? My guess is yes, but cannot recall?

NH is the one and only state where drivers are not required to wear a seat belt. Probably, a late model BMW X6, the ultimate driving machine, is the most common car in NH, and everyone has too much common sense to not be wearing their seat belt ...... go figure?
