Here are three reasons why all passengers and drivers should wear seat belts.

*They decrease the chances of serious injury or death.

Safety belts when used properly reduce the number of serious traffic injuries by 50 percent and fatalities by 60-70 percent.

*Wearing seat belts save lives.

Approximately 35,000 people die in motor vehicle crashes each year. About 50 percent (17,000) of these people could be saved if they wore their safety belts.

Of every 100 children who die in motor vehicle crashes at least 80 would survive if they were properly secured in an approved child safety seat or safety belts.

*Finally seat belts provide a restraint to keep passengers in the car in the event of a serious collision.

Motorists are 25 times are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when they are "thrown clear" than when remain inside their vehicle.

So they do not hit the windshield and die

So they do not bounce off the windshield and kill someone else in the car

So they do not go flying through the windshield and bounce off a crown of pedestrians , killing them


Courage
1) It's the law.
2) It helps to keep you safe in an accident.
3) It helps to keep you from being flung around the car in an emergency maneuver (say the driver swerves or has to stop suddenly.) They avoid the accident. If you aren't wearing your belt... then you're injured for no reason.

They save your life and it the law you do not need anymore reasons


Daniel S
Reason 1: You are less likely to die if you get in a car accident.

Do you really need any others????


Rapid Fire
1 - so they don't die in an accident
2 - so they don't die in an accident
3 - so they don't die in an accident

They save lives (27 lives each and every day).

They prevent your family and friends from having to deal with your death.

Its the law a safety belt or seat belt is designed to hold you firmly into your seat and keep you from being thrown forward or sideways.
