Growing Pains - Maui - Hawaii - Swept Away - Aloha Part 1 & 2

This show was filmed on Maui in Hawaii Season 3 In the show you see them not wearing any seat belts. During summer 1985, Hawaii became the 10th state in the nation to enact a mandatory seat belt law. The Hawaii law--Hawaii Revised Statutes (H.R.S.) 291-11.6-took effect December 16, 1986, after a 45-day warning period. The law was written to cover only front-seat occupants of motor vehicles because most people killed in crashes are front-seat passengers (between 1979 and 1984, 88 percent of motor-vehicle crash fatalities were front-seat passengers). Legislators also believed that a law covering rear-seat passengers would be difficult to enforce and more intrusive.
