Seat belts play a certain restraining role in the event of a collision with the driver and passengers, and in the event of an accident, injuries can be avoided to a large extent, and the consequences of being tied or not tied are completely different. However, to this day, there are still some people who are troublesome when driving or riding in a car, think that the speed is not fast, or think that the distance is close, or that the back seat is unnecessary......
Is it really unnecessary? Let the case tell you.
Positive case
At about 9 o'clock on June 3, 2024, Pang drove a heavy-duty semi-trailer tractor and collided with a light truck driven by Zhou, who was driving normally, when he reached the intersection of Xiguan Village, Siqian Town, Chengcheng County, causing injuries to the people on the vehicle and varying degrees of damage to the two vehicles.
In the end, the police determined that Pang was overtaking when driving a semi-trailer transport truck passing through the village entrance, and his failure to drive safely and civilly was the root cause of the accident, and he was fully responsible for the accident. The driver of the light goods vehicle suffered only minor injuries due to the proper wearing of his seat belt after the vehicle was hit and rolled over, and his body was fine.
Negative case
At about 18:00 on June 11, 2024, when Cao drove a small ordinary passenger car to the Shashang Village section of Chishui Town, Huazhou District, Weinan City, he collided with the small car driven by Yang, causing varying degrees of damage to the two vehicles, and the drivers of both sides and the passengers in the car were injured.
In the end, the police determined that Cao drove the vehicle on the road and did not keep a safe distance from the car in front, which was the direct cause of the accident and was fully responsible for the accident. The accident was aggravated by the failure of the passengers of the two vehicles to use seat belts in accordance with the regulations.
Traffic police remind: seat belt = life belt!
There are many people who have a misconception that only the front seat needs to wear seat belts, and some people even think that only drivers need to wear seat belts. However, in the event of an accident, the "Grim Reaper" does not "choose" the victim based on the seat position, it has only one criterion: who does not wear a seat belt, it chooses who!
Article 51 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China clearly stipulates that when a motor vehicle is moving, the driver and passengers shall use seat belts in accordance with regulations. Please learn a lesson from the majority of traffic participants, whether you are driving or sitting in a car, whether it is in the front or the back, you must keep in mind that "wear seat belts when you get in the car, and all staff and the whole process are standardized"!
