Question 6 of 10 • TX-English I B-Credit Recovery Summer School
Which excerpt from the Click It or Ticket Mobilization Media Campaign best expresses that seat belts greatly improve safety?
Answer
A
In 2012, 3,031 additional lives could have been saved if all unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants 5 and older involved in fatal crashes had worn their seat belts.
B
Those who drive and ride in pickup trucks may think that their large vehicle will protect them more than other vehicles in a crash.
C
More men than women die every year in motor vehicle traffic crashes. In 2012, 65 percent of the 21,667 passenger vehicle occupants killed were men.
D
Local law enforcement officers are actually trained to spot seat belt violations at night, so just because it’s dark, don’t think they won’t be able to spot unbelted drivers.
