your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime, too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.
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 very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt even if you’re
not buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a
train, 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 be badly hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!

Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meet all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate
your lower beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be
turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with you own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
