Seat belt use and non use - Brijesh Rana

Here is my survey for seat belt use. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QPWYWQ2

Using a seat belt is just a click away and many people find themselves not using their seat belt at times. This can be very dangerous and make you end up flying out your front windshield. I personally don't get why people don't just wear their seat belt. Law enforcement tries to make people wear their seat belt by placing advertisements saying click it or tick it. Many teens lose their lives because they do not use their seat belt. Seat belts only offer protection so why not just click it? Seat belts were invented in the late 1900s by George Cayley to provide safety for passengers. This technological advancement has saved so many lives. In newer cars when you don't wear your seat belt there's a little annoying beeping noise telling you to put on your seat belt and won't stop until you do.

SEAT BELT USE
•  Teens have the lowest seat belt use rates of any age group, leading to deadly consequences
•  Only 65 percent  of teens consistently wear their seat belts as both a driver and passenger
•  Six out of 10 drivers ages 16 to 20 who were killed in crashes were unrestrained
•  Almost two out of three teens killed as occupants of motor vehicles are unrestrained



1) Conditional method of attractive woman saying seat belts save lives and to wear a seat belt. By putting attractive people doing things it grabs more people's attention. If there were some old lady saying wear your seat belt it wouldn't get as much attention as a young attractive model.



2) Picture of people driving and having fun while being safe by wearing their seat belt at the same time. This picture shows that you can be in a vehicle and have fun while being safe by wearing a seat belt and it can really make a difference.


3) Repetition, every time you drive pass this sign you are repeatedly told to fasten your seat belt. By being told to put on a seat belt over and over people tend to wear their seat belt more. It also served as a reminder if someone forgot to wear a seat belt and they don't realize it then they see this sign then they will check themselves and put it on.

4) Intensity, this picture is a example of intensity and shows how Matt was killed from a car accident because he did not wear his seat belt. It also says that seat belts save lives and is trying to promote the use of seat belts. This picture also shows that driving without a seat belt can be deadly and showing the car like this after the accident has a bigger impact on people.

5) This is another example of what can happen if you do not use your seat belt. You can fly out of the front windshield which can be fatal. By showing the driver covered in blood on the hood of the car it makes people a little frightened and more likely to wear a seat belt. This picture tries to put fear in people which is a good technique for seat belt awareness.

6) This picture is of a cute dog who is fastened with a seat belt. I think this is showing how you protect the ones you love by making them wear a seat belt which offers protection. Imagine if this dog was not in the seat belt in a accident he would go flying and probably be injured servery. Seat belts offer a lot of protection and can save lives.


This picture shows a mother crying because her child was killed in a accident because they did not wear a seat belt. You hurt more than yourself by not wearing a sea tbelt.


Overall I had a hard time finding pictures related to seat belts not being used. Seat belt use is a serious matter and everyone should wear one when in a vehicle. It only offers protection and I don't see why someone would risk their life and not wear one.


Peripheral route of wearing a seat belt. When I get into a car the first thing i do without even thinking is just put on my seat belt. it is a automatic thing for me and many other people. People make the decision to wear a seat belt without even thinking twice.


Two sides argument of wearing a seat belt and not wearing a seat belt. I don't see why someone would argue not to wear a seat belt. To wear a seat belt makes you a safer driver and gives you protection in case you get into a accident. Seat belts are used on roller coasters and many other places like bumper cars to insure you don't get hurt. So there is not much of an argument whether to wear a seat belt or not.
