Why we should wear seat belts in cars.

There are many good reasons why we should wear seatbelts. One reason is because the law tells us to do so, another one is that it can reduce injuries and save many lives. In the year 1984, car crashes left about 4,200 workers without any jobs. It also affects the lost of productivity, insurance, and medical costs to those individuals that do not wear their seat belt.
Over the past ten years, since the law was made for everyone to begin wearing seatbelts, there has been less highway injuries and fatalities have been dropped. As of December 1999, forty nine states including the District of Columbia had used the seat belt law in effect.
Parent's are the role models for the children of this time, so the state wants to encourage for everyone to buckle up for safety. No matter if you are the safest driver out there, there are other people out there that aren't.
Just remember, Click it or Ticket!
