When should you wear seat belts?

Wearing seat belts at all times when you are in a moving vehicle is crucial for safety. Seat belts are designed to secure occupants, preventing them from being ejected from the vehicle in the event of a collision or sudden stop. They significantly reduce the risk of injury or death during accidents, regardless of the vehicle's speed or location, whether on highways, city streets, or rural roads.

One of the key aspects of seat belt laws is that they apply to all passengers within a vehicle, not just those in specific positions or circumstances. This promotes a culture of safety for everyone on the road. By choosing to wear a seat belt every time you are in a moving vehicle, you actively participate in your own safety and the safety of others, whether you are in the front or back seat and whether or not you are using your phone.
