Q:
If
my vehicle has air bags, why should
I
have
to
wear safety belts?
A:
Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in
most of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so
they work
with
safety belts
-
not instead of them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even
if
you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
Q:
If
I’m a good driver, and
I
never drive far from
home, why should
I
wear safety belts?
A:
You may be 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.
