Those who do not give up on the front seats as if they are taking on the duty of a driver, those who say that they are comfortable and say that they do not shy away from the back seat, and those who cannot travel without following the road.
Everyone has a preference, of course, but when it comes to security, things get complicated. So which seats should we choose?
Although the seat belt is protective against possible accidents while traveling, there are of course other things that we need to pay attention to. The most important of these is where we sit on the bus.
In fact, most of us think that the safest seat in a possible bus accident is the front seats behind the driver. Because with a simple logic, during an accident, the driver will do maneuvers to protect himself first and the seats closest to the driver will be saved with the least damage with this thought.
However, this is a pretty big mistake. Passengers sitting in the front of the bus are at great risk in a head-on accident, and unfortunately the driver’s maneuvers are often inadequate.
What about the backseat passengers who want silence and some sleep?
Rear seat occupants face a great danger in the event of a possible accident, just like the front seat passengers. Because in the event of a rear-end collision, the passengers in the rear seats will suffer the most.
I watch outside, I do not understand how the road passes! Unfortunately, the situation is no different for window-side lovers who say so. Because, whether it is an accident or not, windows are always vulnerable to sudden impacts from outside.
In addition, incorrect overtaking by the driver or different errors caused by vehicles coming from the opposite lane pose a great risk for the window edges, which are the closest part to the lane.
If so, where should we sit on the bus?
Looking at the research and the injury and death rates in accidents that have happened so far, it is possible to say that the safest part is the middle sections of the bus, namely the seats next to the window sill.
Sitting in the middle pods close to the aisle of the bus will be the safest seats for all the possible accidents we mentioned above. In short, not on the windowsill, but on the side next to it; Sitting between the wheels at the center point, not near the front or rear of the bus, will ensure a very safe journey.
So which side do you prefer?
