Do rear passengers in sedans need to fasten seat belts on highways?

[BryceAnn]

Rear passengers in sedans need to fasten seat belts on highways. According to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers and passengers must use seat belts as required when the vehicle is in motion. During vehicle operation, both drivers and passengers not wearing seat belts are considered illegal acts. Sitting in the rear seat without a seat belt not only seriously threatens the safety of front-seat occupants but also poses safety risks to the passengers themselves. This is because during vehicle deceleration, passengers inside the car are effectively accelerating relative to the vehicle. In such scenarios, the acceleration force when rear passengers impact the windshield is greater than that for front passengers, making rear passengers more likely to sustain severe injuries.
