Q:
If 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 f m 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 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
