If you don't wear a seat belt you may soon be stopped and ticketed. In the State House discussion over making seat belt usage a primary law is being called a "bitter filibuster."

Currently, the law is secondary which means police can not stop you for not buckling up. Last year in South Carolina, 963 people died in traffic accidents.

549 were not wearing seat belts.

226 were buckled up.

188 did not have access to a seat belt.

Do you wear your seat belt? Some do Some don't. Very soon, those of you who don't may have to pay for not wearing it. A lot of you say the law is about safety. Others say it's another example of government having too much control.

Driving is how most people get around. but how many people actually use their seat belts our cameras captured both types those who buckle up and those who don't.

One Charleston Resident says, "I do sometimes now, if I am going to the supermarket or something like or it is something pretty close I usually don't wear it to be honest with you the only time I wear it is when I am going on the interstate.

Some people say they wear their seat belts because they have been in accidents before.

One person in opposition of making the seat belt law primary says, "I don't think any cop should pull anybody over just because they are not wearing their seat belt."

Even though wearing your seat belt is not a primary law many people say they will continue to buckle up before they hit the road and hope lawmakers will change the current seat belt law.

Again, for now if you don't wear your seat belt  police can not pull you over... but things may change soon the debate continues at the State Capitol.

For those people who don't wear their seat belts, experts say most accidents happen a mile within a persons home.
