or the safety belts!
With safety belts,
you
slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,

A:
Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be

system ever offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that
has
air
bags, you still have to buckle
up
to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
won’t have to wear safety belts?
