Q:
A:
If I am a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
You may be an excellent driver, but if you are in an
accident — even one that is not your fault — you
and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver does not protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
2.
Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see
how, see “Seats” in the Index.
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 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in
your vehicle, see Older Children on page 1-29 or
Infants and Young Children on page 1-32. Follow those
rules for everyone’s protection.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Do not let it get twisted.
First, you will want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.
We will start with the driver position.
