I think that all cities in the U.S. have laws that say people have to wear seatbelts. Isn't that true?
I have been using a lot of Ubers lately for transportation to my doctor's appointments. It is a nice and positive experience but, I do have one concern. I wasn't reminded of putting my seat belt on in one recent ride. I think that this should be mandatory for drivers to be sure all riders are wearing them before they take off.
One in four of my rides have not. I know I am an adult and should be aware and should put mine on. Sure! But, I think it should be a requirement that the driver reminds and makes sure all seatbelts are being used.
Agreed?

Yes, professionally they should but sad that they take these things for granted.

@celticeagle We have a huge fine if the passenger in front is without seat belt.

In our country, we do have also seat belt law but not all drivers are following this.

You would think that a Uber driver would do the same.

Seat belts are only provided for the driver and the passenger sitting beside the driver.
