2 The slogan is "wear all seat belts!"

Last year, there were seven tragic accidents on the Expressway within the Kanto Regional Head Office Headquarters, where seat belts were not worn and the seats were released outside the vehicle resulting in death.

Looking at past data, the fatality rate of non-wearers is about 10 times that of wearers. (Fig. 1 below)

Looking at each seat, about half of the passengers in the back seat die without wearing a seat belt. It is easy to think that a seatbelt is not necessary for the rear seats, but since it has been mandatory to wear it on Expressway since 2008, and it is often released outside the vehicle, so passengers in the rear seats must also wear seatbelts. let's do it. (Fig. 2 below)

The Road Traffic Law requires that you wear a seat belt (including the back seat). If you violate it, you will be penalized (1 point deduction), so be sure to wear seat belts for all seats.

If you do not use the seat belt properly, you will not be able to obtain the original effect.
Let's review the correct usage again!
