Properly worn safety belts are the single most effective means
of reducing the risk of serious injury and death in a collision or
other accident. For this reason, always wear your safety belt
properly and make sure all passengers wear their safety belts
properly as well whenever the vehicle is moving.
The driver must always make sure that every person in the
vehicle is properly seated on a seat of his or her own, properly
fastens the safety belts belonging to that seat before the
vehicle starts to move, and keeps the belts properly fastened
while riding in the vehicle. This applies even when just driving
around town. Therefore, always wear your safety belts and
make sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly
restrained.
Always secure children in the vehicle with a restraint system
appropriate for their age, weight and height → Child safety and
child restraints .
Always fasten safety belts correctly before driving off and
make sure that all passengers are properly restrained.
Never attach the safety belt to the buckle of another seat.
Attaching the safety belt to the wrong buckle will reduce safety
belt effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never let any objects or liquids get into the safety belt latch
and prevent it from working properly.
Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so will increase your risk of being injured or killed.
