How To Wear Safety Belts Properly; Driver Position - GMC 2007 Yukon Denali Owner's Manual

Q:
If I am 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 are
in an accident — even one that is not your
fault — you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver does not 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.
