National Seat Belt Day
National Seat Belt Day, November 14th, encourages people to save their lives as the holidays approach. Using a seat belt has been shown to save lives, no matter where you are sitting in a car.
About 85% of Americans buckle up, saving an estimated 15,000 lives each year. However, 47 percent of passenger fatalities in 2017 were not restrained, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Seat belts have been shown to minimize serious injury risk and save lives.
This restraint has saved hundreds of thousands of lives over the past 60 years since the introduction of the three-point seat belt, and it has saved hundreds of thousands of people. Since then, the industry has introduced advanced safety equipment to automobiles. However, alone, many of these innovations will not save a life unless the driver and passengers are seat belt restraints. For example, Airbags that pair properly with proper seat belt use work most efficiently when paired with appropriate seat belt use. The force with which an airbag deploys can be lethal without the restraining hold of a seat belt can be deadly on its own.
Be sure everyone buckles up during this holiday travel season and every season. It's safe arrival that everyone safely arrived will be worth celebrating!

Every time, everyone buckles down. Also, ensure that each passenger buckles up. Drivers, please ensure that every passenger buckles up. No matter if it's a quick trip to the store or a road trip to see family, buckle your seat belt before you hit the road. Also when ridesharing is available, buckling up is just as important. Seat belts are also encouraged in other areas. They should be healthy and safe, and they should know how important it is to keep them healthy and safe. Allow your children to see you buckling up every time, please parents. And if they remind you (because we know they do), listen.
Accidents aren't ever planned and happen in a flash... When an accident occurs, there's never enough time to buckle on a seat belt, but there is always time before leaving the driveway..
