Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags
so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: Air bags, or Supplemental Inflatable
Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and will be in more of
them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
- so they
work
with safety belts, not instead of
them. Every air bag system ever
offered for sale has required the use
of safety belts. Even if you’re in
a
vehicle that has air bags, you still
have to buckle up
to get the most
protection. That’s true not only
in
frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and 1 never
drive far from home, why should
I
wear safety belts?
A: 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 chime
will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people
to fasten
their safety belts, unless
the driver’s
safety belt is already buckled. The safety
belt light will also come
on and stay on
until the driver’s belt is buckled.
