Tata's former head Cyrus Mistry died in an accident.
During the accident, he was sitting at the back. Two people in the front seat were injured but were saved.
The two people including Mistry sitting in the back seat died.
Usually the ones in front are at risk and the ones at back are safe.
Here is was the opposite. Remember to be more careful.
After Cyrus Mistry's death, people all over India were worried and thinking about their safety.
Does it mean that we need to be careful as a famous person like Mistry died,
It has been there since long. When you buy a car, there are seat belts for the front seat,
as well as for the back seats. Haven't you seen them?
Only the people in the front seats wear the seatbelt and also there are airbags for safety.
They think that in the rear seats, it's not needed.
All new cars have seatbelts in the rear seats including those used as fleet cabs like Uber and Ola.
You don't use them thinking that at the back, you will be safe.
That's not true. Even in the rear seats, it's dangerous.
Although not wearing a seat belt has a fine of Rs 1,000. Right?
Under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), this rule of all the passengers wearing a seatbelt has always been there.
But it is seen that only the person driving wears the seatbelt and none of the other wear.
People ignore the rule and the police too do not implement it strictly.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari said that
the rule will be strictly followed as Mr. Mistry died as he was not wearing a seatbelt.
If Mr. Mistry was wearing a seatbelt, his life would have been saved. His life was cut short.
The rule will be implemented all over India. Also, when the front seatbelt is not locked, there is an alert beep.
The government has asked all carmakers to introduce a seat belt alarm system for all the seats.
People do not wear seatbelts, thinking that airbags would help.
If the seatbelt is locked properly, only then the airbags of the car will open properly.
Air bags will not open if the seatbelt is not locked. It maybe fatal.
You can keep buying new cars but you have only one life.
Remember the difference. Always wear seatbelts.
You may wonder that if the rear seat passengers do not wear seatbelt, it's fine.
No! If the passengers in the rear seat are not wearing seatbelt,
during the time of crash the person sitting in the back seat is sometimes thrown on the passenger in front.
This can cause death of all the passengers.
How is it possible as the ones in front were wearing seatbelts?
This is because the weight of the back seat passengers falls on the ones in the front seat.
All of them can die.
If you are travelling with your family, will you be careless?
No, right? Seatbelt is for everyones safety.
Take a look at this video and I will explain you.
Did you see the video and understand?
Seatbelts have always been there, but people ignore them.
Now after Mistry's death, they are scared and worried.
There have been innumerable accidents every year
as people hate wearing seatbelts while driving.
This wrong. Wear the seatbelt and enjoy the ride.
We spend a huge amount on buying expensive cars like BMW, Mercedes, Toyota etc
but then why don't we use the seatbelt?
Your life is more expensive than the car.
You cannot get a new life. Wear seatbelts for the safety of your family.
Remember, all passengers must wear seatbelt for safety.
If ignored, you would be fined or you may lose your life. The choice is yours.
Better to be careful.
