People know that seat belts could save lives in the event of an accident.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Three-point seat belts could extend over the lap and across the upper body. These belts provide an extra degree of safety by protecting your body. They are offered in both bench-seat and buckle-seat kinds. The 3-point seat belts are offered in either non-retractable or retractable styles.
The majority of modern motor vehicles on the market provide retractable seat belts. Although non-retractable types increase safety, retractable kinds offer much more comfort. It is not possible for a non-retractable seat belt to accidentally extend.
Lap belts
Two-point lap belts are those which extend over the lower part of the body. Most lap belts feature a push-button closure system and are non-retractable. In order to secure the seat belt, simply press on the belt button and the two sides would separate.

These types of seat belts have a micro-switch attached that enables an alarm to sound if an operator starts a vehicle and is unsecured by a seat belt. The circuit-closed seat belts are made in both non-retractable and retractable lap-band kinds.
