I Here er ehlld its sitting in’a seat that has a
lap-shouider belt, but the shoulder part Is
behind the child. If thechild wears the belt
in this way, in a crash the child might slide
under the belt. The belt’s Qom would then
be applied rlght on the child’s abdomen.
That could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should
be worn
low and snug on-the hips, just touching the
child’s thighs. This applies belt force to
the child’s pelvic
bones in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should use it. The automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty
of extra length built in, so it will fasten around almost all
people.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your
dealer will order you
an extender. It’s free. When you go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the
extender will be long enough for you. The extender will
be just for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else use it, and use it only
for
the seat it is made to fit. To wear it, just attach it to
the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose parts or damage. If
you see anything that might keep a restraint system from
doing its job, have
it repaired.

early on Sunday morning. In fact, GM Research studies
show that the most and the least dangerous times for
driving, every week, Ml on the same day. That day is
Sunday. The most dangerous time is Sunday from
3 a.m.
to
4 a.m. The safest time is Sunday from 10 a.m. to
11 a.m. Driving the same distance on a Sunday at 3 a.m.
isn’t just a
little more dangerous than it is at 10 a.m. It’s
about
134 times more dangerous!
That leads to the next section.
Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is
a national tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the
highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every
year. Alcohol takes away three things that anyone needs
to drive a vehicle: Just how much alcohol
is too much if a person plans to drive?
Ideally, no one should drink alcohol and then drive. But
if one does, then what’s “too much”? It can be a lot
less
than many might think.
Although it depends on each person and situation, here is
some general information on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Content
(BAC) of someone who is
drinking depends upon four things:
How much alcohol is in the drink.
The drinker’s body weight.
The amount of food that is consumed before and during
The length of time it has taken the drinker to consume
drinking.
the alcohol.

Police records show that half of all motor vehicle-related
deaths involve alcohol-a driver, a passenger or someone
else, such as a pedestrian, had
been drinking. In most
cases, these deaths are the result
of someone who was
drinking and driving. Over
25,000 motor vehicle-related
deaths occur each year because
of alcohol, and thousands
of people are injured.
