Do Passengers in the Back Seat Need to Wear Seat Belts?

[VonLucy]

Passengers in the back seat should also wear seat belts. Here is relevant information about wearing seat belts: 1. Reasons why passengers in the back seat should wear seat belts: Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that seat belts have saved as many as 13,941 lives in accidents. However, among the annual fatalities in car crashes, half of the victims still perish due to not wearing seat belts. In China, the probability of drivers using seat belts is less than 45%; for front-seat passengers, it is less than 17%; and for rear-seat passengers, it is less than 3%. If rear-seat passengers do not wear seat belts, during an accident, they may not only collide with the front seat backs but also hit the roof, door panels, or windows, leading to injuries. 2. The importance of seat belts: Seat belts are the lifelines of a car, providing protection for both drivers and passengers. When a car is traveling at high speed and experiences a collision or requires emergency braking, the enormous inertial force generated can cause the driver and passengers inside to collide with the steering wheel, windshield, or seat backs, resulting in severe injuries.
