Your vehicle has
a
light that
comes
on
as
;t
reminder
to
buckle up. (See “Safety
Belt
Reminder Light”
in
the Index.)
In
most
states and Canadian provinces, the law says
to
wear safety belts. Here’s why:
T~CJJ
~r~~r-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 coulct 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.
L
Take
the
simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s
just
a
seat on wheels.
