Why do taxi drivers not wear seat belts?


Why do taxi drivers not wear seat belts? The reason behind these exemptions is two-fold. You're less likely to be assaulted. A passenger can't hold the belt and pin you to your seat while they assault or rob you. It's easier for the driver to move in and out of their vehicle to guide passengers and to help them with their luggage.


Why do taxis remove seatbelts?

Passengers in taxis are usually in a rear seat. Seatbelt use for back seat passengers in private autos is almost never required by state law. So, back seat passengers don't as a rule wear them.


What will happen to the driver if he is not wearing a seat belt?

Being buckled up during a crash helps keep you safe and secure inside your vehicle; being completely ejected from a vehicle is almost always deadly. If you don't wear your seat belt, you could be thrown into a rapidly opening frontal air bag. Such force could injure or even kill you.


Why do cops flash their lights but not pull you over?

Usually when we do that we are trying to get your attention, so you pay attention to your driving; speed, lane usage, lack of attention, cell phone usage. Think of it as a warning. We may do this if your issue is not over the top, or perhaps we are on the way to another call and cannot stop you, but want to warn you.
