Seating and Safety Restraints

Reasons given...	Consider...
″I was in a hurry″	Prime time for an accident. Safety
	Belt Warning Chime reminds us to
	take a few seconds to buckle up.
″Seat 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	Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
wear belts″	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″	Not a good idea. People who are
	ejected are 40 times more likely
	to DIE. Safety belts help prevent
	ejection, WE CAN'T ″PICK OUR
	CRASH″.

WARNING: Always wear the safety belt. Do not be tempted to sit on top of the belt to fool police or to defeat the warning system. The safety belt and safety belt warning system are there to protect your life.
