Should Rear Seat Passengers Wear Seat Belts on the Highway?
1 Answers
Yes. According to relevant regulations, rear seat passengers in vehicles must wear seat belts under all circumstances. The seat belt is a safety device designed to protect both passengers and the driver in the event of a severe collision. Failing to wear a seat belt while the vehicle is in motion is considered a violation of the law for all occupants. Not wearing a seat belt in the rear seat not only poses a serious threat to the safety of front-seat occupants but also creates potential hazards for the rear passengers themselves. During deceleration, passengers inside the vehicle accelerate relative to the car, meaning rear passengers experience higher impact forces against the windshield compared to front passengers, significantly increasing their risk of severe injury.
