Buckle up correctly for every ride

Even when you are in a hurry or on a short trip around the block, buckle up everyone for every ride!
When you are in a hurry or taking a short drive of only a few blocks, make sure all passengers are properly buckled-up in a seat belt, and children are properly secured in a car seat or booster seat. Sometimes parents or drivers think that by not wearing a seat belt or properly securing a child in a car seat or booster seat will be safe for a short, quick, just around the corner drive. Unfortunately most car crashes happen near the home and among shorter trips. You can be ticked and as a driver you are responsible for your passengers and in a crash passengers can be seriously injured or killed. So always make sure all passengers are buckled up and children are secured in a car seat or booster seat.
