the Answers
Q:
Won’t
I
be trapped in the vehicle
after
an
accident
if
I’m wearing a
safety belt?
A:
You
could
be -whether you’re
wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if
you’re upside down. And
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident,

you are belted.
Q:
Why don’t they just put in air bags
so

systems only

they work
with

of
safety

get the most protection. That’s
true not only
in
frontal collisions, but
especially in side and other
collisions.

passengers can be

Being a good
driver doesn’t protect you from
things beyond your control, such as
bad drivers.
Most
accidents occur
within
25
miles
(40
km)
of home.
And the greatest number
of
serious
injuries and deaths occur at speeds
of less than
40
mph
(65

Safety belts are for everyone.
