Abstract

This article deals with arguments against the use of seat belts. These arguments are: (1) The belt can cause injuries; (2) the belt constitutes an obstacle to maneuvering the vehicle easily and smoothly; (3) it is dangerous to sit fastened in a car if it should catch fire or sink into a lake; (4) in case of a collision it is better to be thrown out of the car than to be belted-in; (5) it is dangerous for pregnant women to use seat belts. In every instance the facts or counter arguments uphold the wisdom of using seat belts.
