Those who ride in the back seat have to wear a belt like those in the front

In 2026 there are still people who believe that it is not necessary to wear a seat belt in the second row, an absurdity

Although it has been mandatory for all passengers for a long time, there are still many people who fail to buckle their seat belts in the back seat. This is not anyone’s impression, it is official information from the highway police, state and federal.

Many think that the obligation is only for those in the front seats and are sadly mistaken, because those in the back also need the belt.

It is an illusion to think that you will be protected, in the event of a frontal impact, by the front seat, as he is often taken out of the car or hits his head on the roof. And there has already been a case of the rear passenger ejected with force forward causing the death of driver and passenger.
