to9rare9events, even for good drivers.1
in 4 of us will be seriously injured in a

far93of4fatal crashes occur within25
miles of home.
9Belts are
uncomfortable9Ford designs its safety belts to enhance
comfort. If you are uncomfortable - try
different positions for the safety belt
upper anchorage and seatback which
should be as upright as possible; this
can improve comfort.
9I was in a
hurry9Prime time for an accident.Belt
Minder reminds us to take a few
seconds to buckle up.
9Seat belts
don't work9Safety belts,when used properly,
reduce risk of deathto front seat
occupants by45% in cars,and by60%
in light trucks.
9Traffic is
light9Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes,many when no
other vehicles are around.
9Belts wrinkle
my clothes9Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.

I'm with don't
wear belts9
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with TWO or
MORE people. Children and younger
brothers/sisters imitate behavior they see.

are not designed to inflate in rear and
