Every year it seems like automobile manufacturers are piling on the safety devices in new vehicles. Electronic stability control, side curtain air bags and other modern conveniences have eclipsed such basics as seat belts and frontal air bags in new vehicle advertisements. However, the basic safety devices found in just about every car are the very devices that are saving lives and reducing the severity of auto accidents every day.
For safety devices like seat belts and air bags to do their job, drivers and passengers have to use them correctly. Used correctly, a simple safety device like a seat belt can cut the chance of injury in an accident by 50 percent. If you use your seat belt in a car equipped with air bags, you’ll cut your risk of injury in a car crash by almost 60 percent.
To take full advantage of seat belts and air bags, make sure you are using them correctly. Consider these tips from AAA Mid-Atlantic:
