Reasons given... Consider...
ЉCrashes are rare eventsЉ
36,700 crashes occur every day.
The more we drive, the more we are
exposed to
ЉrareЉ events, even for
good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will be
seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.
ЉI’m not going farЉ
3 of 4 fatal crashes occur within 25
miles of home.
ЉBelts are uncomfortableЉ
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.
ЉI was in a hurryЉ
Prime time for an accident. Safety
Belt Warning Chime reminds us to
take a few seconds to buckle up.
ЉSafety belts don’t workЉ
Safety belts, when used properly,
reduce risk of death to front seat
occupants by 45% in cars, and by
60% in light trucks.
ЉTraffic is lightЉ
Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes, many when
no other vehicles are around.
ЉBelts wrinkle my clothesЉ
Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
ЉThe people I’m with don’t
wear belts
Љ
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.
