(All statistics based on U.S. data)
Reasons given...
Consider...
“Crashes are rare events”
36700 crashes occur every day.
The
more we drive, the more we are
exposed to “rare” events, even for
good drivers.
1 in 4 of us will be
seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.
“I’m not going far”
3 of 4
fatal crashes occur within
25
miles (40 km) of home.
“Belts are uncomfortable”
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.
“I was in a hurry”
Prime time for an accident.
BeltMinder 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.
