Reasons given... Consider...
ªCrashes are rare eventsº36 700 crashes occur every day.
The more we drive, the more we are
exposed to ªrareº events, even for
good drivers.1 in 4 of us will be
seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.
ªI'm not going farº3of4fatal crashes occur within25
miles of home.
ªBelts are uncomfortableº We design our 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.
ªI was in a hurryºPrime time for an accident.
BeltMinder reminds us to take a few
seconds to buckle up.
ªSeat belts don't workºSafety belts,when used properly,
reduce risk of deathto front seat
occupants by45% in cars,and by
60% in light trucks.
ªTraffic is lightºNearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes,many when
no other vehicles are around.
ªBelts wrinkle my clothesº Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
ªThe people I'm with don't
wear beltsºSet 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.
