Bangert Mid heavier trucks do the most damage to roads, so the plan would penalise drivers of lighter trucks, cars and similar vehicles. Instead, county officials support a plan for a weight-distance tax which would be a new tax based on the weight of vehicles and the number of miles traveled on Illinois roads. They My the latter plan would generate more revenue which should be set aside specifically for main­ tenance of the roadways traveled by heavier vehicles.

SECRETARY OF STATE JIM EDGAR The importance of using seat belts cannot be overstated Seat belts save lives and should be worn every time you get into a motor vehicle. According to the National Safety council, over 60 percent of all crashes occur at speeds under 40 mph, and about 70 percent of all ac­ cidents occur within 25 miles of home. The belief that it is saftir to be thrown clear in an accident is false. The force of a collision can fling you as far as 150 feet, or 15 car lengths. Being thrown from a vehicle increases your chances of being killed by 25 times. Being tnrown from, .1 vehicle involves going through the windshield or out a door, and once being scraped along the ground, crushed by your vehicle, or thrown into a road­ side object Tbe safest place to be it you are involved in an accident is inside the vehicle, protected by a fastened seat belt. Shoulder belts, which always should be combined with lap belts, keep heads and chests from hitting the steering wheel or instrument banel. vv'" If you have any questions about the Secretary of State's office, please fed free to use our toll-free telephone number (800-' 2S2-MI0). p Of the Rules of be sent to you upon request.
