Swedish law requires you to use a seat belt when driving your car on the road
 This is for safety and security

But there are exceptions in which you may not use a seat belt in certain situations, which are as follows:

• When reversing, you may not use the seat belt in parking lots, for example, or when parking
• If you suffer from a health problem and you have a medical certificate proving that you cannot use it

The driver is always responsible for passengers under 15 years of age using seat belts and protective equipment in the car
 He is the one who bears the entire violation or penalty if he is caught by police patrols
 They found that one of the passengers was not using a seat belt.
 
 Passengers over the age of 15 are responsible for wearing seat belts
 They are the ones who bear the fine imposed on them by the police.
 
 The head restraint is designed to protect the neck and head of the occupant in the event of a rear collision and must be adjusted to suit the position of the head and neck.
 
 The force of the collision is at a speed of 50 km per hour and if a seat belt is not used
 It is equivalent to falling from a height of three floors directly to the ground, which is why you must use a seat belt
 It contributes greatly to saving lives and is a great guarantee of a person’s survival after a collision.
 
 All car passengers are required to use a seat belt, and the law strictly punishes a person who does not use a seat belt
 Also, a seat belt must be used in all types of personal vehicles, trucks and buses
 If the chairs are equipped with seat belts.
 
 When using a three-point seat belt, you must make sure that it is tight and not loose on your body

Fastening the seat belt in a crooked or incorrect manner may increase the severity of the resulting damage
 When it is winding, it becomes sharp in the event of a collision and may cause severe injuries and damage

When passengers are sitting in the back, they must also use a seat belt, as they may pose a danger to the rest of the passengers in the car
 In the event of a strong collision, the person may be pushed from behind to front with very strong force, leading to damage that may cause death

 To control the seat belt, do the following:

• Pull the seat belt out of place
• Tighten it three times quickly and strongly
• Make sure that when you tighten it firmly, it stays in place and stays stuck
