This is why it's the law to wear a seatbelt. Clip every trip.

If you were driving this red car which is travelling at only 60km/h, you would be lucky to survive or come out without a serious injury. If you were driving the silver car, you’d come out relatively unscathed. Why? The silver car has a five star used car safety rating and the red car has only two, however, both these used cars cost around $10k.So always check a vehicle’s star safety rating - you can buy a cheap yet safe car.
