Not wearing a seatbelt puts you at high risk during an accident. Even if you are only in the car for a short period of time, the seatbelt is crucial.
In 2023, three people died in car accidents because they were not wearing their seatbelt. 11 people were severely injured as a result of this negligence.
According to the police, a person experiencing a car accident at a speed of 50km/h without wearing a seatbelt is the equivalent to falling from the third floor of a building. Naturally, children are an important factor, and they also must wear their belts: even if an accident occurs at 30km/h, it is fast enough for a child to be projected to the front of the car.
