Did you know that wearing your seatbelt is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself in a vehicle? According to safety experts, buckling up can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45% in a car and up to 60% in a truck. It’s a simple action that takes just a few seconds, but it can make a life-saving difference. Make it a habit to buckle up every time, no matter how short the trip. Remember, seatbelts are not just for drivers; all passengers should wear them too. Children should be in age- and size-appropriate car seats or booster seats until they are big enough to use a regular seatbelt properly. By ensuring everyone in your vehicle is securely fastened, you’re taking a crucial step towards a safer journey.
