This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See
“Safety Belt Reminder Light’’ in the Index.)
In
many states and Canadian provinces, the law says
to
wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.
You never know
if
you’ll be in a crash.
If
you do have a
crash, you don’t know
if
it will be
a
bad one.
A
few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between.
In
many of them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or
killed.
After more than
25
years
of
safety belts in vehicles,
the
facts are clear. In most crashes buckling
up
does matter
...
a lot!
