Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as a reminder
to buckle up. (See “Safety
Belt Reminder Light” in
the Index.)
In
most 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
30
years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear.
In
most crashes buckling up does
matter
...
a
lot!

Take the simplest vehicle.

it’s just a seat
