Require car makers to install rear seat occupant sensors to improve seatbelt use

Petition Details

We believe there is a disparity in seatbelt usage between front and rear seats in cars. New cars should be required to have occupant sensors in rear seats, which trigger a warning if the seatbelt is unfastened in an occupied seat. Currently, only front seats are required to have occupant sensors.

Additional Information

Regulations should be adjusted to better protect individuals in accidents: many current seatbelt warning systems for rear seat passengers are only triggered when a buckled seatbelt is then unbuckled, therefore it is easily defeated by simply never buckling the seatbelt in the first place.
