Authorities have launched a new road safety campaign aimed at raising awareness among drivers and passengers about the importance of correct seat belt use and other safety devices. The focus is to explain how these systems can significantly reduce the risk of death and serious injury in the event of an accident.

The campaign emphasizes that safety devices, such as seat belts, are effective only when they are appropriate and certified. Therefore, it is crucial for users to ensure that the equipment meets the required safety standards.

Authorities stress that, in addition to using seat belts, other protection systems should also be considered to enhance road safety. The initiative aims to educate and inform the public about best practices regarding vehicle safety.

This effort by the authorities to promote road safety is another step towards reducing accident and injury statistics on the roads, addressing the need for greater awareness of safety device use in transportation.
