Rear Seat Belt

Rear Seat Belt:

Union road transport ministry will soon make rear seat belt alarm mandatory, in a bid to nudge all occupants of a four-wheeler to buckle up for their safety.

  • The three-point seat belt is a low-cost restraint system that prevents occupants of a vehicle from being thrown forward in a crash.
  • Seat belt: slows the occupant at the same rate as the vehicle, distributing the physical force in a crash across the stronger parts of the body such as the pelvis and chest.
  • The Road Transport Ministry said that during 2017, a shocking 26,896 people lost their lives due to the non-use of seat belts with 16,876 of them being passengers.
