Ask

About Safety Belts

--

and the Answers

Q.’

Won’t

I

be trapped in the vehicle after an

accident if I’m wearing a safety belt?

A:

You

could

be

--

whether you’re wearing a safety

belt or not. But

you

can unbuckle

a

safety belt,

even if you’re upside down. And your chance of

being conscious during and after an accident,

so

you

can

unbuckle and get out, is

much

greater

if

you

are belted.

Q.’

If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to

A:

Air bags are

in

many vehicles today and will be in

most

of

them in the future. But

supplemental systems

only;

so

they

with

safety belts

not

instead

of

them. Every air bag

system ever offered for sale has required the use of

safety belts. Even if you’re in

Q.’

If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from

home, why should I wear safety belts?

A:

You may be an excellent driver, but

if

you’re in an

accident

--

even one that isn’t your fault

--

you and

your

passengers can be hurt. Being a

good

driver

doesn’t protect

you

from things beyond your

control, such as bad drivers.

Most accidents occur within

25

miles

(40

km) of

home. And

the

greatest number of serious injuries

and deaths occur at speeds of less than

40

mph

(65

kmh).

Safety belts are for everyone.
