Photos of seat belts are taken at the service area exit. Seat Belt Usage: First, adjust the seat belt position according to your height. When wearing the seat belt correctly, the shoulder strap should cross the chest, and the lap belt should fit snugly over the hips. After fastening the seat belt, the buckle will make a "click" sound. Pull the belt to ensure that the buckle is securely fastened and undamaged. Function of Seat Belts: Car seat belts are safety devices designed to restrain occupants during a collision, preventing secondary impacts with the steering wheel, dashboard, etc., or avoiding ejection from the vehicle, which could lead to injuries or fatalities.
Recently, I was discussing road safety with a friend, and he emphasized that wearing a seatbelt is crucial no matter where you're driving. This is especially important at highway service area exits, where speeds may be low but the risks are significant. Sometimes, cameras do monitor seatbelt usage. As far as I know, many service area exits are equipped with electronic surveillance, and if you're not wearing a seatbelt, you might get caught. Safety comes first—getting caught once means a fine and points deducted, but more importantly, it's about protecting yourself. In the event of a minor collision without a seatbelt, hitting your head on the steering wheel can be really painful. So, when entering or exiting service areas, never let your guard down—developing good habits is better than anything. Also, pay attention to dashboard reminders while driving normally. Don't wait until something happens to regret it. Safe travel starts with these small things.
