When are seat belts required to be worn?

Seat belts are required to be worn by all passengers in the vehicle to enhance safety for everyone. This law is based on the understanding that seat belts significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in the event of an accident, regardless of where a passenger sits. When everyone wears a seat belt, the likelihood of serious harm is minimized not just for the driver but for all passengers as well. This comprehensive approach to seat belt use reflects the principle that safety should be a collective effort within the vehicle to ensure protection for all occupants.
