The reason cars are designed with a well-structured occupant restraint system is to protect the drivers and the passengers in the event of abrupt stop or collision. Some well-known facts about seat belt use:

• Safety restraints can protect you from multiple road accident injuries like broken bones and dislocation to facial injuries and skull fracture.
• Unsecured/ unbelted passengers and drivers can be severely impacted or can be ejected from the vehicle.
• Unbelted occupants can crush, injure and even kill other fellow passengers.

These facts actually gave us something to think about. In case you are not comfortable with the current vehicle restraint system in your vehicle, consider trying other types of safety belts. There are 4 primary types of safety restraints according to the experts of the largest Suzuki Alto Spare Parts dealer, BP Auto Spares India. Three-Point Belt: All latest car models are designed with three-point safety belts. The belt sheaths at a point above the shoulder and along one tip and an adjustable strap is carried along the length of the lap of the motorist that connects at the opposite end. 3 point belt locks when sudden breaks are applied. Lap Belt: Mostly used on aircrafts and in older vehicles, lap belts are basically single or dual strap safety restraints across the waist at two points. They are flexible to adjust varying body sizes but are not retractable. These belts are used in old cars but now they are used to secure child safety seats. Sash Belts: Sash belts are one, single strap safety restraints that retract at a point above the shoulder. These types of seatbelts were used primarily in 1960, but their use was minimized shortly after that since they were not very efficient in keeping the occupant in place during collisions and accidents. Motorized Belts: Automatic or motorized seat belts are safety restraints that automatically secure an occupant as the engine is started or a door is closed, along with a manual lap belt and a motorized three point belt.
