Here the new rule requires the backseat passengers also need to wear the seat belts. Otherwise there will be a punishment. I think it is a good rule. At least it will be safer. What do you think?

In the UK, all passengers are required to wear seat belts, whether in the front or the rear. This is sensible, since, if one is in a collision and the rear passengers are unrestrained, the driver and the front passenger(s) - not to mention the rear passengers themselves - could be severely injured by people in the rear seats flying forward.

I think everybody needs to wear seatbelts in the backseats, including children. Of course young children will be in their baby seats.

@LadyDuck In fact sometimes I really can't understand why parents will forget their babies or children in the car

@youless The baby seats are mandatory from many, many years and now people need to use those with the alarm should you leave the car "forgetting" the kid inside.

Here everyone has to wear a seat belt unless the car is very old. If the car is from 1969 or older we are allowed to drive without seat belts (front seats included)

Here the cars will be scrapped after a certain time.

@youless Here many old cars end that way, too, but sometimes we see very old cars in the street. The very old ones have black licence plates instead of white licence plates, but there aren't many of them.

That's a good law. Here the mandatory requirement is only for the front passenger and driver but I always tell my son to put his seatbelt on even though he's seated at the back seat even though we don't have such law.

You are a very responsible parent

Here the children also won't be allowed to sit in the front.

I think it is not being implemented here in our place and there is no ruling for it yet. I do not know if that will be applied as I see a lot of cars that do not have seat belts at the back.

In the past the backseat passengers didn't have to wear seatbelts although they must be available. Now it is a rule that they must wear it.

Only the front seats are checked here often.

At our place the seat belts are compulsory for front passengers only but I feel it is a good move to make the seat belt compulsory for back seat passengers also because they are equally liable for injuries in case of serious accidents.

You are right. Actually it won't give more inconvenience for the backseat passengers but this little rule can make them safer.

Oh I am not sure if you have to here but I believe probably so. And I believe it may help if in an accident.

It is nothing bad for the backseat passengers to wear seatbelts anyway

Cars here have seat belts for the back passengers but I think no one is using that.
