SEAT BELTS HELP SAVE MORE LIVES THAN THEY CAN ENDANGER
How do seat belts keep you safe? - Seat belts help protect your help and upper body from hitting the dashboard and/or steering wheel. They also prevent you from flying out the windshield in the event of a crash.
How do seat belts work? - Seat belts work by spreading the pressure across your entire body instead of in one area that would cause serious injury.
Are seat belts required? - Yes. Everyone must have a seat belt in the front seat of a vehicle. In the back the age in some states is 16 to not wear one.
Do seat belts protect children? - No, they can cause harm to children, which is why they have to sit in the back in car seats or booster seats.
What happens if I don't wear a seat belt? - You can get seriously injured and/or killed. If caught, you can get a ticket or fine.
Will I be trapped by the seat belt? - Seat belts will rarely trap someone in the event of a fire or the car going under water.
