Using safety measures is always helpful. Many people never get a second chance.

A seat belt would definitely help in case of an accident, it also helps otherwise.

One feels less tired as the body doesn't move and shake much during normal driving, specially during long hours of sitting in vehicle/bad roads.

In India, most people consider it below their dignity if they are made to wear a seat belt. Its a BIG ego problem especially for those in uniform. Moreover a violation is a violation and if it is done by a policeman it has to handled firmly, without exception in a deterrent manner.

How often have we come across incidents of Policemen, whether on duty or off duty wearing seat belts in their official or private vehicles.

This is really appalling that police department which is supposed to be setting an example for the general public is itself indulging into such activities. Police is earning a very bad name for themselves, and if such incidents continue, common man may stop trusting the department anymore.

Already the trust levels are low. The higher ups in the police department need to look after the discipline of their subordinates. Bringing to book a few failing policemen would go a long way in both, setting an example for others to refrain from becoming law-breakers, and also it'll instill the long lost faith of common man in the Indian police.


We hope that you will take some sincere steps in this regard and Also a lot many precious lives would be saved.



Thanking You,
