The following are reasons most often given for not wearing safety belts
(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.

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.
