A:
most protection. That’s true not only in frontal
collisions, but especially
in
side and other
collisions.
If I’m
a
good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
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 turned to “Run” or “Start,” a light will
come
on
for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s safety belt
is
buckled, a chime will also sound.
