That's also why there's no need to put on a seatbelt when you're sitting in the back of a car. I rarely do.

- jamii 16y agoBecause you are a small child and your car is as tall as a bus and the seats are designed to cushion impacts anyway?
- Retric 16y agoYour car is also huge, yellow, and driven by a sober professional?
- bradleyland 16y agoAnd probably the single most important statistic: weighs close to 30,000 lbs without 80+ bodies on board.
- lee 16y agoCan you cite where you got this? I imagine it'd be very easy to get ejected from the back seat of a car in a rollover/accident. Do you ever sit in the middle back seat?
- pavel_lishin 16y agoForget the middle. Think about your forehead meeting the driver's skull if you're sitting behind him and suddenly the car isn't moving anymore because the front of it is wrapped around a concrete barrier.
- rimantas 16y agoWhy? Because your car is 40 times less safe than school bus? In fact, those in the back without seat belts are not only risking their own lives, but are also a deadly threat for the driver and a passenger in front. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TwkGMeQjTQ#t=4m http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TwkGMeQjTQ#t=4m (in Russian. The first test is with front with seatbelts, in the back only child is using it. The next test is front without seat belts, in the back both adults are using them, a child is not). BTW, in my country seat belts are mandatory in both front and back of the vehicle.
- nakkiel 16y agoAnd that is called irony.
- TrevorJ 16y agoActually, the big reason to put on your belt in the rear of the car is that the mortality rate of the front seat passengers goes through the roof when the rear passenger does not have a belt on. The front seat passenger is held in place by a seatbelt and then pummeled from behind by the person in the rear seat slamming into the back of the front seat.
- smackfu 16y agoIf your car had no seat belts in back, then it would have the 4" of foam on the back of the front seats, and you might be OK.
- jpr 16y agoI can just hope that the people in the front seats realize that you are effectively risking their lives by your stupidity before it's too late.
