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. 1in4ofuswillbe

seriously injured in a crash during our

lifetime.

⬙I’m not going far⬙ 3of4fatal crashes occur within 25 miles

(40 km) of home.

⬙Belts are

uncomfortable⬙

Your Ford safety belts are designed 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. Belt-Minder威

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 airbag⬙ Airbags 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⬙.
