Your vehicle has a light that
comes on 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
wo~k.
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!
Why
Safety
Belts
Work
When you ride
in
or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
Take
the
simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on
wheels.
