Just make it click. The instant you buckle up before driving or riding in the front seat of a car or truck, you cut your risk of a fatal injury in a crash nearly in half.

Additionally, your vehicle’s other safety features, particularly air bags, can’t work as effectively if you’re not buckled upthey are designed to work together.
