Banned Seatbelt Stoppers Sold Openly in Hyderabad

In Hyderabad, people are still buying devices to turn off their car's seatbelt alarm, even though they're not allowed.

These devices were banned because not wearing seatbelts led to many deaths.

Shops sell these stoppers for around Rs 150-400.

Road safety experts warn that these devices are dangerous, as airbags won't work properly without seatbelts.

The police are inconsistent in stopping the sale of these items.

In the past three years, the police have given out over 139,000 tickets for not wearing seatbelts.

Not wearing seatbelts is dangerous, as you can be thrown forward in an accident, even with airbags.
