    In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. Here is why: You never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive. But most crashes are in between.[...]

    Q: If I am a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts?

Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur wit[...]
