Or you are going through a green light and some jackass in the

realistically avoided, and seat belts along with air bags DO matter.

blame the cops for that. car chases put innocent people at risk.

Pay attention. Who is to blame has absolutely nothing to do with the
fact that seatbelts make people safer.


And it also has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that sometimes
even someone who is paying attention can be blindsided.


there are no guarantees. nothing is perfect.

the point is that if drivers were paying attention, they could avoid
collisions.


Not in every case, nope. And in the cases where it cannot be avoided.
Wearing a seatbelt is generally safer.
