Modern cars are equipped with a very useful system, which notifies that the passenger has not fastened the seat belt. When the driver gets into the car, the system is activated, and in the cabin sounds unpleasant, annoying sound. Motorists who do not like to wear, use a special plug for the seat belt. Since the system does not work, and does not irritate your squeak.
This device keeps the nerves, but will not be able to secure in an emergency. What a dangerous secret lies behind these caps?
How it works
The security system in your car works on the following principle: if you are wearing, then airbags included if not buckled, the airbag is deactivated. This was done in order to reduce the risk of injury.
If, instead of the belt should plug, the system also switches off the airbags. At first glance, it may seem that it is very convenient. You can not be fastened, in the case of an accident airbag will save from the blow. But this is misleading. In the collision of the inertia body leans toward the steering wheel and airbag throws it back. This can lead to serious damage to the spine. If you fasten the belt, then hit the pillow will not be so dangerous.
Do not forget, even if you follow all safety regulations and concentrate fully on the road, there is no guarantee that all drivers are the same right. The seat belt was not invented for beauty - it is your guarantee of the preservation of life in the event of an emergency.
