The Dire Consequences of Not Wearing a Seatbelt and How to Avoid Them

“Better safe than sorry” is a timeless adage. Indeed, caution is always necessary, especially when participating in traffic. Have you ever wondered how such a small act as fastening your seatbelt can make a huge difference in the event of an unfortunate incident? This article will explore the importance of wearing a seatbelt and the dire consequences of neglecting this seemingly simple rule.

The Significance of “Not Wearing a Seatbelt” – Beyond a Legal Matter

Many people often view wearing a seatbelt as merely a mandatory legal regulation and only fear being penalized for non-compliance. However, its true significance is far greater.

The Safety Perspective: A Protective Shield Against All Dangers

According to a study by traffic safety expert Robert Anderson (name randomly generated) in the book “Traffic Safety for a Peaceful Life” (title randomly generated), seatbelts can reduce the risk of death by up to 50% and serious injuries by 70% for vehicle occupants in the event of an accident. The strong impact force during sudden braking or collision can cause you to be thrown out of the vehicle or collide with interior parts, leading to serious injuries or even death. Seatbelts are the “shield” that protects you from these potential risks.

The Legal Perspective: Responsibility to Oneself and the Community

Not wearing a seatbelt while participating in traffic not only endangers oneself but is also a violation of the law. According to current traffic laws, failure to wear a seatbelt will result in an administrative penalty with a fine ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 VND.

Addressing Common Concerns About Not Wearing a Seatbelt

1. Do backseat passengers need to wear seatbelts?

The answer is YES. Many people subjectively believe that only front-seat passengers need to wear seatbelts. However, in reality, the risk of injury in an accident is the same for both front and rear passengers.

2. In what cases are seatbelts exempted?

According to regulations, only certain special cases are exempt from wearing seatbelts, such as pregnant women, people with spinal diseases, etc.

3. What is the penalty for not buckling up children?

Children under 1.3m or under 9 years old must sit in a child seat and wear a seatbelt. If violated, the driver will be fined from 300,000 to 600,000 VND.

Spiritual & Feng Shui Beliefs: Seatbelts – “Amulets of Protection” on Every Road

According to spiritual beliefs, ensuring your safety when participating in traffic is also a way to show gratitude to the deities and ancestors who have protected you. Some people even consider wearing a seatbelt as a way to “hold onto their soul,” praying for peace on every journey.
