Explanation
Safety belts are designed to protect you during sudden stops, collisions, or unexpected events on the road. Buckle up at all times, not just on long trips or when driving on highways. Most crashes that cause injury or death occur at speeds under 40 miles per hour and within 25 miles from home. Wearing your safety belt before you drive is life-saving and the single most effective way to protect yourself and others on the road.
