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.
Safety Belt Reminder
Light
When the key
is

START,

eight seconds to remind people to fasten
their safety belts. Unless the driver’s
safety belt is buckled, a chime
will
also
sound,
