It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a
cargo area,
inside or outside of
a
vehicle.
In
a
collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do
not allow people to
ride in any area
of
your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in
a
seat and using
a
safety belt properly.
I
Your
vehicle has a light that
comes on as a reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety
Belt Reminder Light”
in the Index.)
In
most states and Canadian provinces,
the
law
says
to
wear safety belts.
Here’s
why:
They
work.
You never know
if
you’ll
be
in a crash. If
you
do have a
crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are
in
between. In many of them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt
or killed.
After more than
25
years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
...
a lot!
