In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the lawrequires wearing safety belts. Here is why:You never know if you will be in a crash. If you do havea crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one.Why Safety Belts WorkWhen you ride in or on anything, you go as fast asit goes.A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be soserious that even buckled up, a person would notsurvive. But most crashes are in between. In many ofthem, people who buckle up can survive and sometimeswalk away. Without belts they could have been badlyhurt or killed.After more than 40 years of safety belts in vehicles, thefacts are clear. In most crashes buckling up doesmatter. a lot!Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat onwheels.InformationProvidedby:1-11

Questions and Answers About SafetyBeltsQ: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if Iam wearing a safety belt?A: You could be — whether you are wearing a safetybelt or not. But your chance of being consciousduring and after an accident, so you can unbuckleand get out, is much greater if you are belted.And you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you areupside down.Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have towear safety belts?A: Airbags are supplemental systems only; so theyor the safety belts!With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,and your strongest bones take the forces. That is whysafety belts make such good sense.1-14work with safety belts — not instead of them.Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupantsstill have to buckle up to get the most protection.That is true not only in frontal collisions, butespecially in side and other collisions.InformationProvidedby:

Q: If I am a good driver, and I never drive far fromhome, why should I wear safety belts?A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you are in acrash — even one that is not your fault — you andyour passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a goodd
