Seat belts are one of the most important safety features in a car. They protect passengers from serious injuries and can even save lives in the event of a car accident. However, many people believe that seat belts are only necessary for those in the front seats. This is a common misconception and can lead to serious consequences. In this article, we will discuss the importance and safety of seat belts in the back seats of a car.
Many people believe that the back seat is safer than the front seat, but this is not necessarily true. In fact, studies have shown that passengers in the back seat are more likely to be injured or killed in a car accident than those in the front seat. This is because passengers in the back seat are not as protected as those in the front seat.
The back seat is where many children sit, and it is important to ensure that they are properly secured with a seat belt or car seat. In the event of a car accident, an unsecured child can be thrown from the car or even into the front seat, causing serious injuries or death. Seat belts and car seats are specifically designed to protect children and ensure their safety in the event of a car accident.
In addition to protecting children, seat belts are also important for adult passengers in the back seat. In the event of a car accident, an unsecured passenger can become a projectile and can cause serious injuries to other passengers or even themselves. A seat belt can prevent this from happening and can keep passengers in their seats, reducing the risk of injury.
Some people may be hesitant to wear a seat belt in the back seat because they believe it is not as safe as wearing a seat belt in the front seat. However, this is simply not true. Seat belts are designed to protect passengers in all seats of a car, and wearing a seat belt in the back seat is just as important as wearing a seat belt in the front seat.
In fact, some studies have shown that passengers in the back seat may actually be safer than those in the front seat. This is because passengers in the back seat are farther away from the impact of a car accident and are less likely to be hit by debris or other objects. However, this does not mean that passengers in the back seat are completely safe without a seat belt. Seat belts are still necessary to ensure maximum protection and safety.

During the holy month of Ramadan, it is sad to witness hundreds of accidents and dozens of fatalities every year. Ramadan is a very special time and it is all about being with the ones close to you, which creates a lot of traffic! This festive time also brings unique challenges for all traffic participants.
Tokio Marine, one of the largest UAE auto insurers teamed up with RoadSafetyUAE to analyze their 2023 Ramadan motor insurance claims data (22 March to 20 April 2023) to come up with meaningful insights aimed at raising awareness and protecting UAE road users.
Takako Matsuo, Senior Manager Direct Business and Marketing of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd states: “We collect a significant amount of claims data which we thoroughly analyze and we want to share the key findings for the good of the people and society in the UAE. In this instance, we analyzed 1,320 UAE claims data. The Ramadan period poses a specific challenge to UAE road users and we want to contribute from our side to keep everyone safe on the road.”
Thomas Edelmann, Founder & Managing Director of RoadSafetyUAE states: “Tokio Marine is in a great position to share real-life data benefitting UAE road users. It was amazing to team up with the Team at Tokio Marine to jointly analyze their claims data. It takes great commitment from a company to go the extra mile to use their resources to the broader benefit and to raise the awareness for Ramadan specific road safety. UAE motorists need to be especially careful with regards to the behavior of other drivers in Ramadan, as in more than 50% of accidents third party is at fault and in 36% it is shared fault. Between 1 to 4pm most accidents are taking place (35%), followed by the late morning rush hour from 9-12pm (21%). Wednesdays are the most dangerous week days, while the weekends are the safest. Motorists in the age bracket of 30-39 years are most vulnerable, followed by the segment of 40–49 year olds. Accident claims by nationality seem to follow the demographic distribution.”
