Your Guide to Seat Belt Safety

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) “Click It or Ticket” campaign is underway. Not only is it important to buckle up, but it is important to wear your seat belt properly.

Here are some seat belt safety tips:

• Make sure your seat belt fits snugly. Seat belts worn too loosely can cause broken ribs or injuries to your abdomen.
• Place the lap belt low on your hipbones and below your belly. Never put the lap belt across your belly.
• Place the shoulder belt across the center of the chest between the breasts.
• Never slip the upper part of the belt off your shoulder. Seat belts that are worn too high can cause broken ribs or injuries to your belly.
• The most effective safety protection available today for passenger vehicle occupants is lap/shoulder seat belts combined with air bags.

Edgar Snyder & Associates urges you to always buckle up. A seat belt could mean the difference between life and death in an accident.
