Seat Belts

 

  • Seat belts provide the greatest protection against ejection, one of the worst things that can happen to a person in a crash: 75% of individuals who are ejected from a car are killed!
  • Use of seat belts is essential even with airbags: proper use of a seat belt can help keep you in control of the vehicle if you swerve, and can protect you from a second impact.
  • Protect your children by installing child safety seats and using them properly. Oregon law requires that children up to 6 years and 60 lbs. be properly restrained while riding in a vehicle.
