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. 1in4ofuswillbe
seriously injured in a crash during our
lifetime.
⬙I’m not going far⬙ 3of4fatal crashes occur within 25 miles of home.
⬙Belts are
uncomfortable⬙
Your Ford 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.
⬙I was in a hurry⬙ Prime time for an accident. BeltMinder威
reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up.
⬙Seat 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.
⬙I’d rather be
thrown clear⬙
Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40
times more likely to DIE. Safety belts help
prevent ejection, WE CAN’T ⬙PICK OUR CRASH⬙.
