Your vehicle has a light that
comes on as a reminder to
buckle up. (See "Safety
Belt Reminder Eight" 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 krlled.
After more than 25 years of safety
belts in vehicles.
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
...
a
lot!
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
