A
CAUTION:
It
is extremely dangerous to ride in
a
cargo area,
inside
or
outside of a vehicle.
In
a
collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do
not allow people
to
ride in any area of your vehicle that
is
not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle
is
in
a
seat and using a
safety belt properly.
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!
