TO SAFETY
Understand and
follow site specific
safety requirements
and emergency
procedures.
If you try a seat belt fake-out, chances are you are going to get caught. Law
enforcement officers are trained to spot unbelted drivers at any time of day
and they do not issue fake tickets, said NHTSA Administrator David
Strickland. Seat belts save tens of thousands of lives every year and there is
simply no good excuse for not buckling up.
NHTSA studies show seat belt use among drivers at 84 percent for 2011.
Additional data show that seat belts have saved thousands of lives each year
nationwide. Yet in 2010 alone, 241 passenger vehicle occupants were killed
in traffic crashes during the Memorial Day holiday period. Nearly two-thirds of
these fatalities occurred at night between the hours of 6:00PM and 5:59AM
when the risk of being in a crash triplesand 66 percent were not belted.
