Pregnant women **must wear the seat belt mandatorily** when traveling in a vehicle. This is because the seat belt is a **passive safety** element that protects both the driver and passengers in the event of an accident.

- **All people** traveling in a vehicle with installed seat belts must use them, regardless of whether they are drivers or passengers, and this applies on all roads and streets. The exceptions to this rule are very specific and do not include pregnant women.

- It is important that the seat belt is **properly adjusted** to the body. The **shoulder strap** should pass over the collarbone, between the shoulder and the neck, and go down the center of the chest. The **lap belt** should be placed over the hip bones, always below the stomach, to avoid serious injuries in case of an accident.


- Although the belt may be uncomfortable, especially during pregnancy, its use is crucial for the safety of the mother and the fetus. Not wearing it could increase the risk of injuries in the event of an accident.

Therefore, pregnant women must wear the seat belt mandatorily, adjusting it correctly to maximize their protection.
