Reasons given... Consider...
9Crashes are rare events9 36,700 crashes occur every day.
The more we drive, the more we are
exposed to 9rare9 events, even for
good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will be
seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.
9I’m not going far9 3of4fatal crashes occur within 25
miles of home.
9Belts are uncomfortable9 Safety belts are designed 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.
9I was in a hurry9 Prime time for an accident. Safety
Belt Warning Chime reminds us to
take a few seconds to buckle up.
9Safety belts don’t work9 Safety belts, when used properly,
reduce risk of death to front seat
occupants by 45% in cars, and by
60% in light trucks.
9Traffic is light9 Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes, many when
no other vehicles are around.
9Belts wrinkle my clothes9 Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
9The people I’m with don’t
wear belts9
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.
