Seatbelts save lives

You’re twice as likely to survive a car crash if you’re wearing a seatbelt.
In NSW, on average each year around 30 drivers and passengers are killed and a further 82 are seriously injured in crashes when not wearing an available seatbelt. Many of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented if a seatbelt had been used. Even if you’re only going a short distance, or driving on your own property, a seatbelt can save your life.
If someone is injured or killed in a crash it doesn’t only affect them, it can impact many people including their family and friends, the emergency services and hospital staff who have to respond to these crashes. This trauma can often be prevented by wearing a seatbelt.
