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
fmlt
-
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.
