Wearing your seatbelt in a moving vehicle is extremely important to your safety. Do not get into a vehicle that does not have sufficient seating, to ensure a safe trip. Overpacking a car or seating people in areas with no safety harness can lead to disastrous accidents on the road. Keep yourself and others safe by following the rules of the road and driving defensively.
