Should Rear Passengers Wear Seat Belts?
1 Answers
Rear passengers should wear seat belts. Not wearing a seat belt has become the third leading cause of road traffic fatalities, second only to speeding and drunk driving. Most drivers and front-seat passengers have developed the good habit of fastening their seat belts upon entering the vehicle. However, rear-seat passengers often overlook the importance of wearing seat belts. The dangers of not wearing seat belts in the rear seats are as follows: In the event of a traffic accident, if rear passengers are not wearing seat belts, they may collide with the front seats, roof, windshield, dashboard, or even be thrown out of the vehicle due to the lack of airbag cushioning and protection, seriously endangering their own lives and the safety of the front-seat occupants.
