Should Rear Passengers Wear Seat Belts on Highways?
1 Answers
Rear passengers should wear seat belts when traveling on highways. Car seat belts are safety devices designed to protect passengers and drivers by preventing airbag-induced injuries during violent collisions. Their primary functions include absorbing impact energy, mitigating inertial forces, and reducing the severity of injuries for vehicle occupants. The proper steps for using seat belts are: 1. Pull out the seat belt and securely fasten the buckle to ensure the belt restrains the body; 2. Adjust the lap belt position to fit across the hips; 3. Position the shoulder strap diagonally across the collarbone; 4. Before driving, check that the seat belt is securely fastened and functioning properly; 5. To release, press the buckle's release button while holding the latch plate, then allow the belt to retract and store the latch plate in its designated position.
