A seat belt is a mandatory safety feature in every modern car. And they must always wear a seat belt, otherwise the airbag will do more harm than good. However, there is another important aspect that is worth remembering at this time. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
It’s never too early to remind yourself to fasten your seat belt every time you turn the key in the ignition. Unfortunately, in Russia many drivers still attach it ‘over the back’ or use a plug, ‘deceiving the security system’. Please don’t squeak. Of course, they are only fooling themselves: getting hit in the forehead by your own airbag by incorrectly introducing the whole complex of passive safety of the car is a “brilliant” solution. In quotes, of course.
One day the conversations and persuasion stopped and the path to awareness was shortened: fines were introduced. And to ensure that this fine has ample force and maximum speed, road cameras were given the option to monitor seat belts: from now on, the ‘all-seeing eye’ keeps an eye on the population in the front row and registers the absence of a seat belt. .
Of course there were some excesses on site. It turned out that the operator looking at the “incriminating evidence” collected on the drivers may have been mistaken. He is not foreign to anything human, and sometimes, especially when it is dark outside and the driver is wearing black or only dark clothing, a fastened seat belt may go unnoticed. Of course you can and should appeal, but it is much more fun not to receive a fine at all! Especially if you don’t break it.
That’s why many car owners are thinking about painting their seat belts a bright, visible color from a distance. There is a request, there is an offer. Let’s put a bright overlay on the belt: cheap, cheerful, effective. But it turned out to be very difficult: it wrinkles, slips and gets in the way. Then we went the other way.
The service life of a significant part of cars in Russia is almost over, the mileage is enormous and many parts need to be replaced. The seat belt is no better than others. After decades of hard work, it has become covered with a thick layer of dirt, which cannot be washed off even under pressure, has swelled and goes back into the reel with great difficulty. If it comes at all. This makes the belt no longer usable and inconvenient to use. And the new set will honestly leave you without pants, if you even manage to buy it – it is extremely difficult with any “safety” in the car.
The solution to both the first and second problems was to replace the tape: in the workshop, the reel is carefully removed and dismantled, the “gibles” are cleaned and the material itself is replaced with a new bright color, so that every TsAFAP operator will notice it immediately. Effective: fashionable, stylish, youthful and cheap. Why no solution? The main thing is not to exceed a reasonable limit in terms of savings and not to purchase a tape that will not cope with its main task. But here, as always, reviews will help.
