Consider...
9

36 700 crashes occur every day.
The
more we drive, the more we are exposed
to
9
rare
9
events, even for good drivers.
1
in 4 of us will be seriously injured in a

9
I’m not going
far
9
3 of 4
fatal crashes occur within

Belts are
uncomfortable

Seat belts
don’t work

when used properly,
reduce risk of death
to front seat
occupants by
45% in cars,
and by
60%
in light trucks.
9
Traffic is
light
9
Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes,
many when no
other vehicles are around.

Belts wrinkle
my clothes
9
Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
9
The people
I’m with don’t
wear belts
9
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.
9
I have an air

used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.

I’d rather be
thrown clear

ejected are 40 times more likely to
DIE.
