Driving without a seatbelt significantly increases your risk of injury or death in a traffic accident. While there is no way to completely replace the protective effect of a seatbelt, the following points may help increase your chances of survival: 1. **Maintain a safe speed**: Try to control your speed when driving, especially in complex road conditions or high-risk areas to reduce the impact of a collision. 2. **Be vigilant**: Always pay attention to the surrounding traffic conditions, stay alert, and identify potential dangers in time. 3. **Choose a safe vehicle**: Choose a vehicle equipped with modern safety technology (such as collision avoidance systems, airbags, etc.), these safety features can provide additional protection in the event of a collision. 4. **Avoid distracted driving**: Make sure you are focused and don't use your phone or do other distractions. 5. **Keep a safe distance**: Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you so that you have enough time to react and avoid rear-end collisions. 6. **Choose a safe route**: Try to choose a route with relatively less traffic and better road conditions to avoid high-risk driving environments. 7. **Use the driving assistance system correctly**: If the vehicle is equipped with a driving assistance system, make sure you understand and use these functions correctly to improve driving safety. Although taking the above measures can improve safety to a certain extent, not wearing a seat belt will still greatly increase the risk of being in distress. It is recommended to always wear a seat belt to ensure your own safety.
