Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See
“Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.)
In many 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.
