Why Use Seat Belts?
Safety belt/shoulder belts not only hold you in place while the vehicle absorbs the impact of a crash, but they also prevent occupants from being ejected or thrown around in the cab where they can strike objects around them. Safety belts also keep the driver in place behind the steering wheel in the event of a crash, sudden turning, or stopping movement, your ability to maintain control of the vehicle increases significantly. Think about what happens when you make a sudden reactive steering movement to avoid an object in the road, another vehicle, etc. The force of the turn can make your body lean to the right or left and possibly throw you from your seat. You no longer have a good grip on the wheel and can lose control, resulting in an accident that could have been prevented. You owe it to your family to come home to them in one piece. Lets all Buckle up for Safety.
