Q:
If I’m a
good
driver, and
I
never drive far from home, why
should
I
wear safety belts?
A:
You may he an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident
-
even one
that isn’t your fault
-
you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25
miles
(40
km) of home. And the greatest
number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40
mph
(65
km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

When the key is turned to
RUN
or
START,
a light
will
come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s
safety belt
is
buckled, a chime will
also
sound.
