Q:
I f I'm a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I
wear
safety
belts?
A:
You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an accident - even
one that isn't your h u l t

you and your passengers can be hurt. Being
a good driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your control,
such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than 40 mph (65 k d h ) .
Safety belts are for everyone.
