One of the easiest ways of being safe in your vehicle is to simply wrap that seat belt around you and insert into the buckle by your seat until you hear the click. How many times have you heard or read a news story where someone has said, They are alive because they wore their seat belt. Just that statement alone should have you thinking, Why would you Not wear your seat belt?
Wearing your seat belt can be the difference between major injury, being paralyzed or death. The alternatives to not wearing your seat belt far out weigh the reasons you should.
The first seat belts were placed in American cars in the 1900s to keep people in the car on rough roads rather than to protect them in wrecks. Seat Belts were in race cars in the 1920s and finally in a some cars on the open market in 1950. In 1966, the Highway Safety Act and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act were passed and the auto industry was regulated. Seat belts were on their way to becoming standard equipment.
So Really, What does that Seat Belt Do For You?
* Preventing you from being thrown from the vehicle in a roll over or heavy impact.
* Minimizing impact with your passenger and the dash board or windshield.
* Decreasing the time it takes someone to come to a stop upon impact by retraining you.
* Most important Seat Belts Save Lives!
Seat Belts are not just for the driver but for everyone in your vehicle, including your children.
