'Welcome abroad everyone. Please buckle up!' Ben said to Alice and Robo.'Buckle? My buckle?' Robo seemed confused. 'No, fasten your seat belt!' Ben explained.'But we are just going around the corner!' Robo said.'And I don't want to wrinkle my dress!' said Alice.'Buckling up can save your life!' Ben exclaimed. 'Wow! Slow down, Uncle Ben!' Robo and Alice shouted together.'Luckily we had our seat belts on!' said both Robo and Alice. 'Hahaha…' Ben laughed happily.

"Buckle up" is a phrase meaning to use a safety belt, especially in a vehicle.

Do you know? About 50 percent of the people who died in motor vehicle crashes every year could be saved if they wore their seat belts. If the driver and passengers in a car use seat belts, the number of serious injuries in traffic accidents can be reduced by 60-70 percent. It is not only protecting yourself. If you don’t wear a seat belt, you may be thrown out of the seat and hurt other passengers.

Seat belts should be fastened whenever you are on a running vehicle. You could get hurt even when the car is traveling at a speed as low as 40 km/h. Don’t forget to fasten your seatbelt every time when you are in a car. It can save your life!
