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.

1 in 4 of us will be

seriously injured in a crash during
our lifetime.

I’m not going far

3 of 4

fatal crashes occur within

25

miles of home.

Belts are uncomfortable

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.

Safety

Belt Warning Chime 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.
