Should Rear Passengers Fasten Seat Belts on Highways?
2 Answers
Rear passengers should fasten seat belts on highways. Below are specific details about rear seat belt buckles in cars: 1. Rear seat belt buckles in cars can protect passengers' safety, especially on highways where rear passengers need to fasten seat belts. A seat belt buckle is a device that can be inserted into the car's seat belt socket, preventing the seat belt alarm from sounding when the driver does not fasten the seat belt. These buckles come in a variety of designs. 2. Seat belts are the only guarantee of a driver's safety and represent an active safety measure. Even when a car is moving at a relatively slow speed, in the event of a collision or emergency braking, the resulting inertia, though relatively small, is still enough to prevent drivers and passengers from controlling their bodies, leading to collisions with hard components such as the steering wheel and windshield, causing bodily harm.
I often chat with friends about rear seat belts while driving, especially on highways. Honestly, not wearing a seat belt in the back is extremely risky—when speed picks up, sudden braking or a collision can send people flying like bullets. I've personally seen many accidents where unbelted rear passengers hit the windshield or flew into the front seats, causing severe injuries or even fatalities. On highways with heavy traffic and speeds often exceeding 100km/h, even a sharp turn can lead to loss of control. Legally, China's traffic laws clearly require all passengers to wear seat belts, or else the police can impose fines of several hundred yuan and deduct points. Forming the habit is super simple: just buckle up with a click as soon as you get in the car. Don’t find it troublesome—it has saved countless lives. I always remind everyone when getting in the car, and now my family automatically buckles up. After all, safety comes first; when an accident happens, regret comes too late.
