Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives. They also can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries ha[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer inter[...]
