I would refuse to start or continue a journey if any passenger behind our beside me won't wear their seat belt.

Are we supposed to believe that the front seat will somehow move forward from the force of the rear passenger hitting it? And this force will be so great that it will crush the front driver’s skull against the steering wheel? Is that really the take-away here?
If so, that’s a PSA about poor engineering and design of the driver seat and less about rear passenger seat belt safety.
