Buckle Up in Bucks

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The Dangerous and Deadly Problem of Not Buckling Up.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death among those aged 1-54 in the U.S. With those alarming states, millions do not buckle up on every trip. The simple act of fastening your seatbelt use is one of the most effective ways to save lives and reduce injuries in crashes for adults and older children. Alarming auto accidents and seatbelt stats:
