How to Wear a Bus Seat Belt?
2 Answers
The correct way to fasten a long-distance bus seat belt is to slowly pull the belt until it can be securely buckled. Below is relevant information about car seat belts: 1. Collision Prevention: Car seat belts are designed to restrain passengers during collisions and prevent secondary impacts with the steering wheel, dashboard, etc., or to avoid injuries from being ejected from the vehicle. 2. Safety Device: Car seat belts, also known as seat restraints, are one type of passenger restraint system. They are widely recognized as the most cost-effective and efficient safety device, and many countries mandate their installation in vehicles.
I've been driving buses for over 10 years, and wearing a seatbelt is a fundamental skill. After sitting down, pull out the seatbelt strap and let it diagonally cross your chest from the middle of your shoulder, making sure it doesn't press against your neck or slip under your armpit, as that's dangerous. Then, guide it around your hips and insert it into the buckle beside the seat. You'll hear a click when it's securely locked. Next, adjust the tightness—it should be snug enough to allow a fist to fit between the belt and your body. Too loose, and it won't hold you during a collision; too tight, and it's uncomfortable. The seatbelt should anchor firmly at the pelvis to secure your core, effectively preventing you from hitting the front seat or being thrown out during sudden braking or sharp turns. I always remind every passenger to check if their belt is secure before departure—safety comes first, and laziness should never compromise it.
