Questions and Answers About
Safety Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle

after a crash if I am wearing a
safety belt?

A:

You

could

be

whether you are

wearing a safety belt or not. But
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident, so
you

can

unbuckle and get out, is

much

greater if you are belted.

And you can unbuckle a
safety belt, even if you are
upside down.

Q: If my vehicle has airbags,

why should I have to wear
safety belts?

A:

Airbags are supplemental
systems only; so they work

with

safety belts

not instead of

them. Whether or not an airbag
is provided, all occupants still
have to buckle up to get the
most protection. That is true not
only in frontal collisions, but
especially in side and other
collisions.

Q: If I am 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 are in a crash

even

one that is not your fault

you

and your passenger(s) can be
hurt. Being a good driver does
not protect you from things
beyond your control, such as
bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
40 km (25 miles) of home. And
the greatest number of serious
injuries and deaths occur at
speeds of less than
65 km/h (40 mph).
Safety belts are for everyone.
