Which Seat is the Safest for Pregnant Women in a Car?

[DiKai]

Pregnant women should sit in the back seat, not in the front passenger seat, and must wear a seatbelt. The safest position for a pregnant woman is the right rear seat, as vehicles typically drive on the right side of the road. In the event of an accident, this position is generally subjected to less impact force because, unless it's an extremely severe collision, this area is less likely to be directly involved. The only significant threat to occupants in this position would be a high-speed rear-end collision leading to a catastrophic crash. Dangerous positions: 1. Front passenger seat: This is the most hazardous seat in the vehicle. During an accident, drivers instinctively use the front passenger side to absorb impact, making the passenger a sacrificial buffer. If the passenger isn't wearing a seatbelt, the fatality rate is significantly higher. 2. Rear middle seat: This position is also dangerous. Without a seatbelt, a sudden brake could send the passenger hurtling toward the front windshield. In high-speed accidents (e.g., over 100 km/h), occupants in this position, like those in the front passenger seat, are at the highest risk of being ejected from the vehicle.
