Your vehicle has a lightthat comes on as areminder to buckle up.See Safety Belt ReminderLight on page 3-33.Why Safety Belts WorkWhen you ride in or on anything, you go as fast asit goes.In most states and all Canadian provinces, the law saysto wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have acrash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be soserious 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 walkaway. Without belts they could have been badly hurtor killed.After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles, thefacts are clear. In most crashes buckling up doesmatter.a lot!1-8Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seaton wheels.
Put someone on it.Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The riderdoesn’t stop.1-9

Questions and Answers AboutSafety BeltsQ: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after anaccident if I’m wearing a safety belt?A: You could be — whether you’re wearing a safetybelt or not.

You stop over more distance,and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s whysafety belts make such good sense.A: Airbags are in many vehicles today and will be inmost of them in the future. But they aresupplemental systems only; so they work withsafety belts — not instead of them. Every airbagsystem ever offered for sale has required the use ofsafety belts.
