Study revealed that 96% of drivers use seat belt. But only 12% of passengers in the back seat used material
A law that took only half. A risk in traffic. It is the law of the seat belt. Only those who will use the front seat. This has terrible effects on the number of traffic deaths.

In times of holiday weekend, neglect is even clearer. In the balance that has just been released by the state Highway Patrol, 50 people died on the roads of São Paulo. Many of these victims were traveling without the belt. Pass over this equipment in the back seat is a serious offense. But above all, is a huge security risk.

In front of a child. In the back seat, a child without a seatbelt, squeezed in the middle of luggage. The bad example comes from adults.

"There's nobody using the seat belt behind. What a shame, "says the driver.

Excuses and more excuses.

"I just got off the post. So I'm not wearing seat belts, "justifies a lady.

A civil servant Vanessa Carvalho is almost an exception. In her car seat belt is mandatory. Not only because the law requires.

"I fell into a ravine 15 meters, I can not remember the accident, but I know what saved me was the belt because I did not hit the glass," says Vanessa Carvalho.

The law is 1997. There was a tolerance up to 1999, for the auto industry to adapt to the new rule. Since then, the lack of seat belts in the back seat is also considered a serious offense. Still, the use of seat belts in the back seat is still not a common habit for many people.

A survey in Sao Paulo showed that if the subject is security, passenger and driver live in different worlds. The problem is that the irresponsibility of some puts at risk the lives of everyone.

We analyzed more than ten thousand vehicles. The study done by the company that manages the traffic in the capital, CET, revealed that 96% of drivers were with the belt. In contrast, only 12% of passengers in the back seat used equipment.

In the opinion of the doctor Alberto Sabbag, people have a misconception that behind are protected. Tests done by the Association for the Development of Automotive Medicine show that the risk to the passenger rear seat is enormous.

"The trend is the heavier it first. Then the head goes first, the person comes off as a torpedo. The head has a slingshot. So strikes with incredible strength, he kills and kills those who are in front, "says the doctor.

According to him, in a crash between two cars at a speed of 50 km / h, a child of 25 pounds, for example, when thrown, will cause an impact that will force a hundred times greater than the weight of it.

Realizing the danger, the driver recalls that safety should come first: "They think it's uncomfortable, you do not. I think it's important. I pull the ear of the staff here, "said one driver.

The experts also criticize the use of film in dark glasses, because this makes the review. They point out that in Brazil the seat belt was used by motorists to avoid more fines than actual safety. Therefore, they recommend a strict surveillance of passengers in the back seat and fines.
