Every hour someone dies in America simply because they didn't wear a safety belt. Safety belts are the most effective means of reducing fatalities and serious injuries, and sadly, many adults and children aren't using them. Yet, only 68 percent of Americans wear safety belts. By contrast, Germany stands at 95 percent. Adults who don't use safety belts may think that their behavior only affects them, but they're wrong.
Studies consistently show that there is correlation between adult belt use and child belt use.
About 3 in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives.
