Safety belts are crucial because they significantly reduce the risk of injury or fatality during a crash by keeping the driver securely in their seat. They prevent ejection from the vehicle and minimize movement, which can lead to serious injuries. Additionally, safety belts help distribute the forces of a collision across stronger parts of the body, providing better protection. Overall, wearing a safety belt is a simple yet effective measure to enhance driver safety.
