If you wear a seat belt every time you get into a vehicle, you’re more likely to:
- Get to where you’re going on time. Wearing a seat belt isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law, and many States are conducting heightened enforcement of their seat belt laws.
- Hold onto your hard-earned cash. Seat belt tickets can mean hefty fines and, in some places, points on your license.
- Prevent disabling injuries and scarring. Every 15 seconds, someone is injured in a traffic crash. If you’re not buckled up,you could be thrown through a window, sent skidding along the pavement or be crushed under a vehicle in a crash.
- Live. Someone is killed in a crash every 13 minutes. However, seat belts save over 11,000 lives each year, and they can help you maintain control of your car in a crash.
So, buckle up on… Every trip. Every time.
