Nov. 14 is National Seat Belt Day, which reminds people of the importance of buckling up when riding in or driving a vehicle. Seat belts are easy to take for granted, but they make a massive difference in the event of a motor vehicle crash.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, properly wearing a seat belt in the front seat can reduce fatalities in the event of a crash by 45% and prevent moderate-to-critical injuries by 50%.
