One of the safest choices drivers and passengers can make is to buckle up. Of the 35,092 people killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2015, 48 percent were not wearing seat belts.
Buckling up is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash.
Seat belts are the best defense against impaired, aggressive, and distracted drivers. Being buckled up during a crash helps keep you safe and secure inside your vehicle; being completely ejected from a vehicle is almost always deadly. In 2016, 10,497 people died in crashes involving an alcohol impaired driver. Every day, almost 29 people in the United States die in alcohol-impaired vehicle crashes—that's one person every 50 minutes in 2016. Drunk-driving fatalities have fallen by a third in the last three decades; however, drunk-driving crashes claim more than 10,000 lives per year.
