Explanation
Seat belts are designed to restrain and protect occupants in the event of a collision. Without proper restraints, a person can become a dangerous projectile, posing a risk to themselves and others in the vehicle. Wearing a seat belt reduces the chances of being ejected from the vehicle or thrown against other passengers, significantly lowering the risk of serious injury or death. To maximize safety, everyone in the vehicle should always wear a seat belt or use an appropriate child restraint system. This simple action can be life-saving.
