Do people really need to wear seat belts?
<|assistant|>
Yes, people are required to wear seat belts in most states. Wearing a seat belt can help save lives in a car accident by helping to protect the driver or passenger from serious injury or death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the reported use of seat belts in the United States has remained stable around 90% for the past several years, but too many people are still risking their lives by not wearing a seat belt. In 2017, an estimated 1,133 lives could have been saved if all motor vehicle occupants age 5 and older had worn their seat belts. Seat belts have been proven to save lives, and people should take advantage of this proven lifesaving tool.
