Importance of Wearing a Seat Belt-

Safety devices are very important in our everyday life. Many accidents happen every single day and proper use of safety restraints have saved many lives. It is important to recognize the importance of wearing one. But also the importance of the proper use of seat belts.

Seat belts were first required by federal law, under Title 49 of the United States Code, Chapter 301, Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, on January 1st, 1968. This law required all vehicles, except for buses, to be equipped with seat belts in each designated seating position.

To help create awareness on the importance of wearing seat belts, the State of Texas introduced the Click it, or Ticket program.

Seat belts are important.
Use of Seat Belt Safety Restraint Saves Lives
In 2014, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 9,385 fatalities on US roads due to unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants. Between 2010 and 2014, 63,000 lives were saved in vehicle accidents, because they were using a seat belt restraint device.

Seat belts save lives. To reinforce this fact, the State of Texas will often place digital road signs along busy highways and roads that remind drivers that wearing a seat belt is the law, and show statistics of drivers killed in vehicular accidents on Texas roads.

Here are the top five reasons why wearing a safety belt saves lives:

Reason #1
Passengers in a vehicle who are not wearing a seat belt can become projectiles during an accident. Unbuckled passengers can very easily be ejected through the front, rear or side windows, resulting in death.

Reason #2
Passengers in the rear seat of an automobile who use both lap and should safety belts are 44% more likely to survive in crash. The percentage increases to 73% for rear seat passengers in Vans or SUV vehicles.

Reason #3
Texans die every day in vehicle accidents. In 2015, of the 3,518 automobile accidents reported across the state, 2,369 of those accidents resulted in a fatality or serious bodily harm.

Reason #4
Trucks are not immune. In 2015, 467 fatalities were reported of drivers of pickup trucks. Of those reported fatalities, 216 were not wearing a seat belt device.

Reason #5
Wearing a seat belt prevents passenger ejection during a severe accident that involves a rollover. The chances of surviving this type of accident increases 45% when wearing a proper safety restraint device. In pickup trucks, that number increases to 60%.

5 Essential Things to Know About Your Car’s Dashboard.

The dashboard in your car is the control panel of your vehicle. It provides you with all the information you need to know, as well as houses the instruments and controls for operating the vehicle properly. The dashboard provides many different features to provide you with warnings and information that you need to take note of while going down the road.

1-Steering Wheel
The biggest part of your dashboard is the steering wheel. The steering wheel allows you to turn the vehicle left and right, or keep it in a straight line. It is an essential part of the dashboard.

2-Check Engine Light
The Check Engine Light is one of the most common warning lights in the dashboard. It does not tell you exactly what is wrong with the car, just that you should take it into a mechanic right away to have it looked at. The mechanic can use a diagnostic tool to find out what is causing the Check Engine Light to come on.

3-Brake Light
The Brake Light comes on when your car detects low pressure, the emergency brake is on, or there are other issues in your brake lines. If your emergency brake is not on and your Brake Light is on, it is important to have your vehicle looked at right away as this is a serious problem.

4-Oil Pressure Light
The Oil Pressure Light is another serious light that may come on while you are driving. If it does appear, it could mean a major system failure. If the light comes on right after you start your car, turn it off, and then turn it back on. If the oil light is still on, you need to get your vehicle looked at as soon as possible.

5-Tire Pressure Light
The Tire Pressure Light will alert you to let you know that your tires may be under-inflated, or they need air. It does not tell you which tire so you will have to go to the gas station and test all the tires until you find one that needs to be filled.

The dashboard is the control panel of your vehicle, so it is important to pay attention to any lights that come on once your turn the vehicle on or while you are driving. YourMechanic offers services that can help determine the cause of the lights coming on and remedy the situation so you have a safe vehicle to drive.
