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!
Why
Safety Belts
Work
When
you
ride
in
or
on
anythmg,
you
go
as fast as it
goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seat on wheels.
