There is one thing you can do every time you ride in a car that will increase your chances of arriving safely by more than 90 percent.
Seatbelts are the most valuable safety devices in vehicles today.
In fact, if everybody wore his or her seatbelt, we could prevent close to 49,000 injuries each year. Everyone who is riding in an automobile should wear a seatbelt. If your mom or dad isn't wearing a seatbelt, you can remind them how much you love them by asking them to put it on. The same goes for your brothers and sisters or anyone else in the car. Remember, you and everyone in the car should buckle up on every trip, no matter how short it is.
