In addition to it being illegal in
most states driving or riding without a seat belt is just a bad idea. Not
convinced? Here are some facts that might sway you.
- Young adults aged 18 to 24 are more likely to be involved in and sustain injuries from an automobile wreck than any other adult group.
- Seat belts reduce the occurrence of injuries or death by 50 percent.
- Males are less likely to wear their seat belts than females
- Lap belts are less effective than three point belts, but nevertheless provide significant levels of protection, reducing fatal injuries by 32%.
- Child restraint systems are often
used incorrectly. One study found that 72% of nearly 3,500 observed car and
booster seats were misused in a way that could be expected to increase a
child’s risk of injury during a crash.
Please drive responsibly.
