When it’s about wearing a seat belt, then it’s supposed to be a non-negotiable aspect that everyone should follow. The reality, however, paints a different picture. It’s because there are many who refuse to abide by this safety rule. Time and again, authorities have tried raising awareness about this rule in different ways. A recent video on Twitter is the latest addition to that effort and it captures the “inevitability of [wearing] seatbelt” for saving someone’s life – and does so quite aptly.

The clip left many impressed and they praised cops for this unusual demo. Some even requested to carry out such a demonstration at their locality. Here’s how they reacted:
