Belt on. Front and back.

Wear a seatbelt in a car - in the front and the back. Ask the people you're travelling with to do the same.

The belt has one job: keep you inside the car when the car changes its mind.

16,000car-occupant deaths without a seatbelt (approx.) (India, 2022)

Official count - government recordIN

“Around 16,700 car-occupant deaths in 2022 involved persons not wearing seat belts; rear-seat belt use is especially low.”

Figure is the national total of non-belted occupant deaths, not a per-person risk multiplier.

And when we do it

Buckled in, you stay in your seat and inside the car's survival space instead of being thrown around it.

You couldn't have known. Now you do.
