Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as a
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:
They
work.
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.
