Reasons given...
Consider...
“I was in a hurry”
Prime time for an accident.
Belt-Minder
威
reminds us to take a
few seconds to buckle up.
“Safety belts don’t work”
Safety belts,
when used properly,
reduce risk of death
to front
seat occupants by
45% in cars,
and by
60% in light trucks.
“Traffic is light”
Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes,
many
when no other vehicles are
around.
“Belts wrinkle my clothes”
Possibly, but a serious crash can
do much more than wrinkle your
clothes, particularly if you are
unbelted.
“The people I’m with don’t wear
belts”
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.
“I have an airbag”
Airbags offer greater protection
when used with safety belts.
Frontal airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear and side crashes or
rollovers.
“I’d rather be thrown clear”
Not a good idea.
People
who are
ejected are 40 times more
likely to DIE.
Safety belts help
prevent ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK
OUR CRASH”.
