Reasons given...
Consider...
9
Traffic is light
9
Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle
crashes,
many when no other vehicles are
around.
9
Belts wrinkle my
clothes
9
Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more
than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are
unbelted.
9
The people I’m with
don’t wear belts
9
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.
9
I have an air bag
9
Air bags offer greater protection when used
with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not
designed to inflate in rear and side crashes or
rollovers.
9
I’d rather be thrown
clear
9
Not a good idea,
people
who are
ejected are
40 times more likely to DIE.
Safety belts
help prevent ejection, WE CAN’T
9

.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt
Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase risk of

One time disable
Anytime the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an ignition
ON cycle, Belt Minder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.
