Deadly Consequences: Motorists Warned Against Seatbelt Buckle Inserts
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Motorists are being urged to stop using seatbelt buckle inserts after a shocking incident highlighted the deadly consequences of bypassing basic safety measures. The alarming practice of inserting a fake buckle to disable the seatbelt warning system has been linked to many injuries and fatalities on Thai roads. The warning gained attention after a social media post by Facebook user Pongprom Yamarat, who shared images of a serious crash involving a brand-new Honda CR-V. The driver suffered severe lower-body injuries, and blood from head injuries, was visible on the airbag. The post pointed out a disturbing detail, a seatbelt buckle insert had been used, meaning the driver was unrestrained at the time of impact. Pongprom emphasised the dangers of this practice, stating: • Many Thai drivers use these inserts to silence the seatbelt alarm, unknowingly putting their own lives at risk. • More than 70% of road fatalities in occur in crashes, where the vehicle structure remains intact, meaning seatbelt use could have saved lives . • Airbags alone are not sufficient protection; they must work in conjunction with seatbelts to prevent fatal injuries. • A previous incident saw a young woman die after her car hit a roadside barrier. Despite minor damage to the vehicle, the impact crushed her chest because she was not wearing a seatbelt. The post has sparked renewed calls for authorities to ban the sale of seatbelt buckle inserts, which are widely available and online. While safety advocates have been urging action for years, the government has yet to implement stricter regulations. As road fatalities continue to be a major concern in Thailand, experts stress that using a seatbelt is a simple yet life-saving measure. Motorists are reminded that deceiving a vehicle’s safety system might trick the car, but it cannot cheat death. -- 2025-03-18 -
