Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should Safety belts are for everyone.
I have to wear safety belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental systems only; so
they work with safety belts — not instead
of them. Every airbag system ever offered
for sale has required the use of safety belts.
Even if you are in a vehicle that has airbags,
you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That is true not only in frontal
collisions, but especially in side and other
collisions.
