Buckle Up
Buckle Up!
You can reduce this tragic tool: obey traffic safety rules, drive defensively, keep your vehicle in good mechanical condition, and wear safety belts. Don’t drink and drive. Here’s why you should Drive Safely:
* Lifetime odds are 1-in-3 that you will be seriously injured in a traffic crash and 1-in-100 that you will be killed.
* More that 40,000 people die each year in traffic crashes.
* Traffic accidents account for more fatalities each year than homicides, deaths from work-related accidents or airplane crashes.
* More than half of all road-related fatalities are automobile passengers who might have lived if they had used safety belts.
