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

(All statistics based on U.S. data)

Reasons given... Consider...

9Crashes are rare

events9

36 700 crashes occur every day. The more we

drive, the more we are exposed to 9rare9 events,

even for good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will be seriously

injured in a crash during our lifetime.

9I’m not going far9 3of4fatal crashes occur within 25 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.

9The people I’m

with don’t wear

belts9

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.

9I have an air bag9 Air bags offer greater protection when used with

safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to

inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers.

9I’d rather be

thrown clear9

Not a good idea, people who are ejected are 40

times more likely to DIE. Safety belts help

prevent ejection, WE CAN’T 9PICK OUR CRASH9.

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt

Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase risk of

injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt

Minder feature please follow the directions stated below.
