Passengers in the rear seats will be penalized for not wearing seat belts. While the vehicle is in motion, not only must the driver fasten their seat belt, but all other passengers in the vehicle, whether in the front or rear seats, must also wear seat belts. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of traffic regulations. When driving on urban roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, if passengers fail to use seat belts as required and correct the behavior immediately after being pointed out, they will receive a verbal warning. Seat belts are a vehicle safety device designed to protect occupants from harmful movements that may occur during a collision or sudden stop. The function of seat belts is to reduce the likelihood of death or serious injury in traffic collisions by minimizing the secondary impact force that poses a risk of internal injury. They also ensure that occupants are properly positioned to maximize the effectiveness of airbags and prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle or experiencing vehicle rollover during a collision.
