Reasons given...

Consider...

“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”.

WARNING:

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a

latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder

威

chime. To

do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag
system.
