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 torareevents,
even for good drivers.1 in 4 of us will be seriously
injured in a crash during our lifetime.
I’m not going far3of4fatal crashes occur within25miles of home.
Belts are
uncomfortableFord 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.
I was in a hurryPrime time for an accident.Belt Minder reminds
us to take a few seconds to buckle up.
Seat belts don’t
workSafety belts,when used properly,reduce risk of
deathto front seat occupants by45% in cars,
and by60% in light trucks.
Traffic is lightNearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle
crashes,many when no other vehicles are around.
Belts wrinkle my
clothesPossibly, 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
beltsSet 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.
I have an air bagAir bags offer greater protection when used with
safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to
inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers.
I’d rather be
thrown clearNot a good idea,peoplewho areejected are 40
times more likely to DIE.Safety belts help
prevent ejection, WE CAN’TPICK OUR CRASH.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt
