Because seat-belts save lives ! The seat-belt is designed to keep you safely in the vehicle should it crash into something. If you're not wearing a seat-belt, and your car hits something - there's a very good chance you'll be thrown forward through the windscreen - possibly into the path of another vehicle ! Although seat-belts won't prevent injury, they are designed to reduce the chance of someone in the vehicle being killed - either by being thrown around inside the vehicle - or by being hurled through the windscreen.
