Reasons given...

Consider...

“I was in a hurry”

Prime time for an accident.
Belt-Minder

௡ reminds us to take a few

seconds to buckle up.

“Safety 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”

People who are ejected are 40
times more likely to DIE.
Safety
belts help prevent ejection, WE CAN’T
“PICK OUR CRASH”.

WARNING: Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a
latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder

௡ chime. To

do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag
system

One-time disable
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition on cycle, the Belt-Minder

௡ will be disabled for that ignition cycle

only.
