Explanation
Seat belts are the most effective safety measure for reducing the risk of injury or death in a vehicle crash. They work by restraining occupants during a collision, preventing ejection from the vehicle or impact with interior surfaces. Always buckle up before starting any trip, no matter how short. Wearing a seat belt is not only a life-saving practice but also a legal requirement-drivers and all passengers (front and back seats) must wear safety belts under the law.
