Why are seat belts important?
Back
They keep you from being thrown from the car (your chance of being killed is about five times greater if you are thrown), reduce impact with the dashboard, and help you keep control. The driver and all passengers must buckle up. A child under 8 must be in an approved car seat unless taller than 4'9".
