Explanation

Pregnant women must wear a seat belt on all types of road, without exception. This is because the seat belt is an important safety element that protects both the mother and the foetus in a collision. Although there are special devices that make the seat belt safer and more comfortable for pregnant women, wearing it is still compulsory.
