Dear Meliton,
I would like to thank you for this opportunity for allowing me to buy a new car with $20,000. I have taken into account your restrictions about the safety ratings of the car. Inside this letter, I have written a report on as to why this car is the perfect one for me, allowing with physics concepts behind its multiple safety features.
My chosen car is the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR CJ Manual MY15. It fits in the cost range, as it costs $17,200-$19,200. Hopefully you will consider this as my potential first car. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Roberto Quesada

The Mitsubishi Lancer has a number of safety features which are proven to increase overall safety along with increasing the chance of survival in an accident.
Seatbelts
Definition= A seat belt is a vehicular safety device designed to secure the occupant of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result during a collision or a sudden stop.
Seatbelts are used so that the occupant is not thrown forward during a vehicle crash, as a result of inertia. Inertia is the tendency to stay in the same state of either moving, or not moving, and because of this, anything inside of a car when it crashes wants to continue to move forward. Seatbelts restrict the space for the occupant to move, keeping them in their place, and stopping them from moving forward. Seatbelts also spread the load exerted on the body to the areas that can handle the force, such as the chest and hips.
Seatbelts are one of the major safety features of a car, as without them, a person is almost certain to die in a collision. Seatbelts however, increase the chance of survival by 45%.
As seen from the images below, seatbelts decrease both force and g’s applied on their user during a collision, decreasing the strain put on their bodies.
Airbags

There are many people who do not understand the importance of seat belts for safety. They do not wear their seat belts even though they know the mortality statistics. Most of them think that seat belts do not help when an accident occurs. We have all made the excuse that the seat belt is uncomfortable. Driving is a dangerous duty that should always be practiced with more caution and care. Some people think that not wearing a seatbelt is rebellious. Other people think that they will never get into accident. Some of the consequences of not wearing a seat belt is that you could die, you can get injured and many more. So far, the only way to avoid these consequences from happening is to wear a seatbelt.
In the past years, car accidents are the leading cause of death. In 2009 alone, crashes killed over 33,000 people and injured another 2.2 million. More than half of the people killed in car crashes were not restrained at the time of the crash. I know most of you guys probably don’t want to hear me talk about statistics or about seatbelts and why you should wear them and listen to some boring speech you have heard time and time again. But please hear me out. You might have excuses that sound logical in your mind, but what are you going to do when your excuses get you killed? First of all, I know most people think that seat belt laws are ridiculous and keep you from having fun.
1.Wearing seat belt saves many people.Seat belt use virtually eliminates the possibility of ejection from the vehicle.Wearing seat belt keeps you from being thrown from your vehicle..It keeps you from banging against parts of your car such as the door.It can also keep you not to hit to steering and the thing in front of you.Seat belts keep the driver and passengers from banging each other, a cause of real injury in some accidents.Airbags are some times useless if you are not wearing seat belt,you can be thrown from your car.If you has thrown from the car, you can be hit some parts of car.So people wearing seat belts can be illegal.
According to NHTSA, 13,941 lives were saved by seat belts in 2015 while an additional 2,814 could have been saved if properly restrained (2017). One impact of seat belt usage is reducing the risk serious or fatal injuries by about half. The CDC reported in 2009, 53% of occupants killed in crashes in the U.S. were not wearing seat belts (2014). According to data collected in 2008 by NHTSA, seat belts have saved an estimated 225,000 lives (2009). The benefit of wearing a seat belt can help increase chances of surviving a crash with little or no
3 Explain: Seat belts can save you life but if they yank on you to hard it can hurt your ribs and stoamac and shoulders and stuff for yanking on you to hard.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “in 2015, seat belt use in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 13,941 lives” (1). The NHTSA goes on to say that almost 30 million Americans still don’t use seat belts on a daily basis. Since vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of death in the United States and even the world, the argument to improve seat belt technology has increased dramatically. Researchers are often more concerned with whether or not people are wearing their seat belts, not the effectiveness of them, until now, although both are incredibly important. Seat belt safety, which is directly related to seat belt technology, has been shown to be increasingly ineffective because of the high severity
Wearing a seat belt isn't just a good idea; it's the law and many states conduct heightened enforcement of their seat belt laws. Forty-nine states, all except New Hampshire have mandatory safety belt laws. In most states, these laws cover front seat occupants only, although belt laws in 16 jurisdictions including New York cover all rear seat occupants also. New York is one of 19 jurisdictions where belt use laws are standard, or primary, meaning police may stop vehicles solely for belt law violations. In 17 states including New York the safety belt defense is allowed, meaning damages collected by someone in a crash may be reduced
Among drivers and front-seat passengers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45%, and cut the risk of serious injury by 50%. Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being ejected during a crash. " www.cdc.gov. There are many more valid reasons to always wear your seat belt than to not wear it. When asking some adults in my family if they require passengers to wear their seat belt, they all said yes.
Every day, thousands of individuals fall victim to motor vehicle accidents and obtain serious injuries. But in regards to innovations such as seat belts and airbags, this number has decreased. Safety innovations have changed throughout history. In the 1930’s, individuals were required to wear safety glasses in their vehicles, in the late 1950’s, occupants were allowed to choose whether they wanted headrests on the front seats, which we know understand to be a crucial part of a car as it prevents whiplash. More recently there have been new innovations such as tire pressure monitors and traction control which further contributes to reducing the number of roadside accidents. However, it is clear that there is still a large area for improvement.
One of them being if a crash occurs, it will reduce the probability of death and severity of injustices. Seat belts also improve behavior and reduce driver distractions. The NHSTA states that seat belts have no value in most of fatal accidents. That there is no guarantee that once installed students will use them. They also state that ONLY six passengers die each year in school bus crashes. That doesn’t seem like a big number. Unless you are the parent to one of those six children. (School Bus
A recent multi-vehicle accident in Rutherford County is a reminder of the importance of using seatbelts. A 27-year-old woman was driving eastbound on State Route 840 West when her vehicle ran off the road. She overcorrected and crossed into oncoming traffic, colliding head-on with another vehicle. The 27-year-old was ejected from the vehicle and hit by a third vehicle. Both the 27-year-old woman and the driver of the second vehicle died from injuries sustained in the crash. Neither was wearing a seat belt, which, according to Tennessee Highway Patrol, would have made a difference in the crash.
When you ride a car,and truck you have to wear seat belts. It’s such a common thing to do, you probably don't even think twice about it. And everyone knows why: Safety if you're ever in a automobile accident, seat belts can save your life and minimize the injuries.
A lot of people are against wearing seat belts even though it is against the law not to wear them. Some people are against them because they believe that they can hurt you in certain instances. Moreover, to an instance where the occupants hits something with an extreme force causing cardiac arrest or chest injuries. Others argue that the belt may not work properly during a crash and could possible end up ejecting the occupant from the vehicle, likely killing them. Nevertheless there are people who say that the locking of the belt could kill them in the circumstance that they swerve into a river with the belt locking them in. Another argument people have theories about is that seat belts make people drive more recklessly. The driver may feel
Seat belts although they are the most effective safety device on cars must be made safer. Out of all people who died in car accidents, 63% of those were not wearing seat belts (seatbelts). This goes to show you the effectiveness of seat belt. Therefore automotive manufactures must mandate the installation of 5-point seatbelt on all cars. In all major race car organization such as NASCAR (National Association Stock Car Automotive Racing) they require these 5-point seat belt. Which is nothing more than a seatbelt that is buckled in 5 spots rather that the conventional 3.
