Under the new rule, outboard front-seat passengers also must get a warning if they don\u2019t fasten their belts. Front-center seats will not get a warning because NHTSA found that it wouldn\u2019t be cost effective. The agency said most vehicles already have warnings for the outboard passenger seats. <\/p>\n<p>The rule also lengthens the duration of audio and visual warnings for the driver\u2019s seat. The front-seat rules are effective starting Sept. 1 of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Rear passengers consistently use seat belts at a lower rate than front passengers, the agency says. In 2022, front belt use was just under 92%, while rear use dropped to about 82%. About half of automobile passengers who died in crashes two years ago weren\u2019t wearing belts, according to NHTSA data.<\/p>\n<p>The seat belt rule is the second significant regulation to come from NHTSA in the past two months.
