1. Why Should You Fasten Your Rear Seat Belt?

Many people still mistakenly believe that sitting in the back seat provides inherent protection from the front seats, negating the need for a seat belt. This notion is entirely false!

According to Nguyen Van An, a safety driving instructor at Tien Bo Driving School, “The force exerted on the body during a collision at 60km/h is equivalent to falling from the fourth floor of a building. In such instances, the seat belt acts as a lifesaver, minimizing injuries.”

Imagine you’re in a car and suddenly encounter a dangerous situation. You would be thrown from your seat and violently collide with hard objects inside the vehicle, leading to a risk of serious injury.

In reality, fastening your rear seat belt can save your life in such emergencies.
