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” 36 700 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 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娂 reminds us to take a few

seconds to buckle up.

“Seat 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.
