The following are reasons most often given for not wearing safety belts:

(All statistics based on U.S. data)

Reasons given... Consider...

“Crashes are rare events” 36700 crashes occur every day. The more

we drive, the more we are exposed to “rare”

events, even for good drivers. 1in4ofuswill

be seriously injured in a crash during our

lifetime.

“I’m not going far” 3of4fatal crashes occur within 25 miles of

home.

“Belts are uncomfortable” We design our 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.

“I was in a hurry” Prime time for an accident. BeltMinder

reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up.

“Safety belts don’t work” Safety belts, when used properly, reduce

risk of death to front seat occupants by 45%

in cars, and by 60% in light trucks.

“Traffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle

crashes, many when no other vehicles are

around.

“Belts wrinkle my

clothes”

Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more

than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you

are unbelted.

“The people I’m with

don’t wear belts”

Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times

more often in vehicles with TWO or MORE

people. Children and younger brothers/sisters

imitate behavior they see.

“I have an air bag” Air bags offer greater protection when used

with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not

designed to inflate in rear and side crashes or

rollovers.

“I’d rather be thrown

clear”

Not a good idea. People who are ejected are

40 times more likely to DIE. Safety belts

help prevent ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OUR

CRASH”.
