I know you still drive a 1967 Volkswagen bettle

I have an advice for you

Save up some money and buy a 2016 car and stop displaying your ignorance on Nairaland



I have friends and families who drives older car models and they won't move if you don't strap your seat belts even if you are sitting on the car roof

1. You can get a ticket for it
2. If you get involved in an accident and your passengers die, your ass will be in jail for manslaughter

I drive a 2017 Range Rover evoque, it won't move if your passengers doesn't engage their seat belts, if you don't have passengers, it will move the car is so smart

The back seat is even more dangerous than the front seat. Seat belt is also most needful in the back seat. Experts knows what I am talking about.

Lol@Op.... You are very right. Funny enough, I thought about this same thing some days ago, when I observed that the seatbelts at the back seat of my car were still neatly fitted after about three years of using it. And Just yesterday, I purposely asked a friend sitting at the back to use the seatbelt, he was like 'for what'? grin....

Yesterday, I was driving, with my friend riding shotgun. We were stopped by a Lastma official. He told my friend "Oga, why you no wear seatbelt? If you no like am, then go sit for back."

After he made that statement, I realised I've NEVER seen anyone, sitting in the back seats, wearing a seatbelt.

Let's remember the Late Ocholi, and his family, Rest their souls. Anything could happen. Accidents don't affect ONLY the driver and the passenger beside him/her. What baffled me was the statement this Lastma Officer made.

Car manufacturers aren't stup!d. The seatbelts are there for a reason - SAFETY. Let's try to imbibe the habit of using our seatbelts, irrespective of where we sit, in a vehicle.

Happy Sunday.

I do wear my seatbelt whenever I sit at the back.

Most cars have airbags at the back. This protects passengers from the shattered glass, in the event of an accident.

They carry overload so there's no way seat belts would be enough for occupants.

I noticed the seatbelts at the back in my car was actually cut out when I bought it and I haven't even bothered to replace them...

Internationally... wearing seat belt is a must for front seat.... back seat it's optional... not against the law. Like someone said earlier... front seat passengers are wayyy more at risk.... the same reason for air bags for front passenger and driver only.

I am not sure that is entirely correct. The UK used to have what was called a seat belt exemption certificate. The last time I spoke with the medical defense union about it I was told never to sign. The reasons were 1) The worst case scenario of not wearing one far outweighs that of wearing one 2) In the event of a collision, the back seat passenger, not wearing a seat belt, can be thrown forward hitting and taking out the front seat passengers. Then the relatives of the front seat passenger can sue ...

It is true though that with regards to a collision, the front seat is at greater risk

The one that really gets to me is seeing kids in the back seat jumping up and down without being strapped in. I keep wondering what their parents are thinking. What if you have to brake suddenly? the kid is bound to fall or slam into the back of your front seats.

I have always strapped my daughter in from as early as when she stopped using a car seat. Now, she is so used to it that she straps the belt on herself immediately she gets in the car. Even if we don't make it compulsory for adults, every child under the age of 12 should use a seatbelt evn in the back seat.
