The issue of whether adults should be bounded to fasten the seat belt so long as they are aware of the dangers is a contentious one. Whilst the claim has its own proponent and opponents, I deem that it is beneficial to legally obligate all the memebers of the society to use the seat belts, including adults, because though they might be aware of the potential risks, there still exist myriad of uncertainties while poeple are driving or are sitting in a vehicle.
Many TV programs, newspaper articles and radio discussion are trying to inform people for the potential problems as the consequence of accidents. Yet, claiming that such information is adequate to preclude injuries and accidents is flawed. A person who knows that refusing to use seat

A truck driver who did not sleep well the night before, for example, may causes a serious for who did fasten the seat belt. Moreover, the use of seat belt is not just for those who are driving the car. One who is a passenger in a public vehicles also should use the seat belt since in this case also the contolling components are much less than the previous case and , hence, the possibility of injuries and death is higher, though being informed about the potential consequences.
The most conducive issue here could be that the use of seat belt by and adult would encourage children to follow their parents and do so. This could be the most benefit which causes the habbits for the kids to follow legal rules in the future which has been roled by a benevolent law maker for their safety.
All these, however, I am of the opinion that the claim is not persuasive for not forcing the adults to use seat belts whilst they are are inform about the potential problems, since many uncerntainties abound which could be out of control, thus, it would be more justified to legally obligate all people to fasten the seat
Dana Maliepaard was a young girl who went to Glasgow High School and was involved in an unrestrained car accident. Dana’s mother, Christie Maliepaard, believes that it is necessary to share Dana’s story with others so that they may learn from it. Dana’s story is used to show teen drivers that it is not only expected, but necessary to wear a seat belt.

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
Seat belts worn correctly can reduce the chances of death in a collision by 47% and the chances of serious injury by 52% (Stewart et al., 1997).

How do you feel when you are told what you will or will not do? You may be told that it is for your own good, but who has the right to decide what is or is not good for you? After all who knows you better than you do? This brings me to the topic of my discussion. Even though there are some statistics that may show a lower rate of injury or death if you wear a seat belt when in an automobile accident, I do not feel that the government has the right to make wearing a seat belt mandatory for adults because by making seat belts mandatory it takes away from our right to freedom of choice, and wearing a seat
An enormous division currently exists between the people who believe that automobile safety should be an option and those that feel it must be a requirement. The federal government feels the morally obligated to create the safest driving environment possible. On the other end of the spectrum, opinions exist that the average driver has ability to make the choice of safety on their own. Editorials, political assemblies, debates, and conversations have arrived on the concept of click it or ticket. This idea refers to ticketing any motor vehicle driver and passenger that is not fastened by a seat belt. Arguments have been made for both sides, and have been reviewed in multiple states.

When you see so many incidents lately on the news regarding the students riding the bus, the lack of supervision, and sometimes the harmful acts being done to other students; you wonder why these things are happening.

My first piece of evidence is a quote said by one of harry duns family members "From a safety point of view we should be spending money on making it safe around the bus ... 92 per cent of all bus incidents happen with children going to and around the bus.” The first text evidence supports my reason of safety by showing why seatbelts are important and really affect people that lose a loved one just because there wasn't enough safety when there could have been. According to the website family education, wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants by 45%, and risk of moderate-to-critical injury by 50%.
Car manufacturers need to create a system for seatbelts so that all vehicle operaters have ensured safety.

For the people who use the excuse that "They are just going around the corner" should realize that 80% of traffic fatalities occur within a 25-mile radius of your home and at a speed of 40 miles an hour. Buckling up to drive around the block is probably the best time to do so. Everyone knows that car crashes can cause death; yet because people do not buckle up all the time thousands of people still die in traffic crashes yearly. Seatbelts can save your life in a crash and can reduce your risk of a serious injury. Seat belts keep drivers and passengers from being ejected through windows or doors. This is important because your chances of being killed are five times greater if you are thrown from the vehicle. Thousands of people who die in car crashes each year might still be alive today if they had only been wearing their seat belts.
