Is it necessary to wear seat belts in the back seat of a motor vehicle?

[JosephineLynn]

It is mandatory to wear seat belts in the back seat of a motor vehicle. According to the explicit provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, both the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required when the vehicle is in motion. In the event of a collision or emergency braking, seat belts can counteract the tremendous inertia, preventing occupants from being thrown off their seats or out of the vehicle. The function of a car seat belt is to firmly secure the loose belt to the driver when the pre-tensioner is in a tensioned state during an accident, thereby avoiding potential harm to the driver. The height of the seat belt needs to be adjusted properly. If set too high, it may constrict the neck during emergencies, causing unnecessary injuries. Conversely, if too low, it may fail to fully restrain the body from moving forward, leading to dangerous shoulder slippage. In fact, the correct method of fastening a seat belt involves pulling it from the middle of the left shoulder collarbone without lowering the shoulder height.
