exposed to 9rare9 events, even for

good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will be

seriously injured in a crash during

miles of home.

9Belts are uncomfortable9 Ford designs its safety belts to

enhance comfort. If you are

uncomfortable - try different positions

for the safety belt upper anchorage

and seatback which should be as

upright as possible; this can improve

comfort.

9I was in a hurry9 Prime time for an accident. Belt

Minder reminds us to take a few

seconds to buckle up.

9Seat belts don’t work9 Safety belts, when used properly,

reduce risk of death to front seat

occupants by 45% in cars, and by

60% in light trucks.

9Traffic is light9 Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in

single-vehicle crashes, many when

no other vehicles are around.

9Belts wrinkle my clothes9 Possibly, but a serious crash can do

much more than wrinkle your clothes,

particularly if you are unbelted.
