Making seat belt reminder fitment mandatory for all seats in a vehicle

While the seat belt reminder is already mandatory for the driver’s seat in many countries, making its fitment mandatory on the front and rear passenger seats could significantly reduce deaths and the severity of injuries in high-impact crashes

Seat belts, along with airbags, are the most effective occupant safety systems that reduce the severity of injuries in the event of high-impact crashes. Seat belts secure occupants of a vehicle against harmful movement during a collision or a sudden braking.
