Reasons given... Consider...
ЉThe people I’m with don’t
wear beltsЉ
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with
TWO or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
ЉI have an air bagЉ Air bags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
ЉI’d rather be thrown clearЉ Not a good idea. People who are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE. Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN’T ЉPICK OUR
CRASHЉ.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt

injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt
