Always wear your seat belt and make sure all passengers are also wearing seat belts or using appropriate restraints.
Not wearing seat belts is extremely dangerous. In the event of a traffic accident, the driver and passengers who are not wearing seat belts may hit each other or the bodywork, or be thrown out of the car. They may be seriously injured or even killed. All other things being equal, passengers who are wearing seat belts will be much safer.
It is prohibited to operate a vehicle with faulty seat belts.
It is dangerous to use faulty seat belts. In a vehicle collision, the webbing of the seat belt in use may be damaged. A damaged seat belt cannot provide effective protection in the event of a vehicle collision. In a traffic accident, the front airbags and the pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners are deployed simultaneously. Regardless of whether there is a passenger in the front seat or not, and regardless of whether any airbags or seat belt pretensioners have deployed, the serviceability of the seat belts installed on the front seats and the serviceability of all airbags must be checked. If necessary, faulty airbags and seat belts must be replaced. Do not use a twisted seat belt.
Twisting the belt strap is dangerous. In a vehicle collision, the inertial load from the body weight will not be absorbed by the entire width of the belt, but only by part of it. This increases the load on the chest bones located under the belt strap, which can lead to serious injury or death.
It is prohibited to use one seat belt to fasten two (or more) people at the same time.
Always follow the rule: each passenger has their own seat belt.
It is dangerous to use the same seat belt to fasten two or more passengers at the same time.
In this case, the seat belt will not ensure proper distribution of the dynamic load from the impact of the car, and passengers wearing the same seat belt will cause serious injuries to each other or may die.
