In many 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 very mild. In them, you won't get hurt even if you're
not buckled up. And some crashes can be so serious, like being hit by a
train, 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 be badly hurt or killed.
After 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
...
a lot!
