New seat belt law takes effect Oct 1. Passengers in the rear of the car are now required to wear seat belts. From what I understand its a secondary offense meaning a cop would have to have pulled you over for something else to give you the ticket....still BS IMO..... no seat belts for school buses? Motorcycles have no safety besides a helmet? Just a money maker for the state all in the name of safety. http://parkville.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/new-maryland-cell-phone-seat-belt-laws-take-effect-oct-1_104027c6 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oMoOKnpvpqc/Tym5pfjI9MI/AAAAAAAAANU/UV4NOtvQtXI/s320/Martin+O'Malley+Whats+in+your+Wallet%3F.jpg
