Reasons given... Consider...
9Belts are uncomfortable9 Ford designs its 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.
9I was in a hurry9 Prime time for an accident. Belt
Minder reminds us to take a few
seconds to buckle up.
9Seat 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.
9I have an air bag9 Air bags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
9I’d rather be thrown clear9 Not a good idea. People who are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE. Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN’T 9PICK OUR
CRASH9.
