Unless there is something holding you down, when you stop, your body will keep on moving as if it is an independent entity from the car. That means if you are traveling at 70 mph on the highway, your body will continue to move that quickly if the car comes to a sudden stop. Seatbelts essentially make you a part of the car and keep you from continuing to travel when the car does not.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>You must wear the seatbelt properly for it to work correctly.<\/strong> There are different ways for adults and children to wear safety belts or to use car seats.<\/p>\n<p>For adults, the seat belt should come comfortably across your chest (not neck) and thighs (not stomach). For children, safety belt laws are a bit more complex. Children must ride in a rear facing car seat until they reach the age of one and weigh 20 lbs. Children from the age of one and beyond are required to wear a safety harness or make use of a booster seat until they reach 40 lbs. and 4\u20199\u201d tall. The height and weight requirements were configured to be optimal for seat belt usage. It is recommended that children under the age of 13 never ride in the front seat.
