Car Seatbelts Don't Always Prevent Door Opening: Mechanic Reveals Safety Flaw

Car Seatbelt Safety Myth Debunked: Mechanic Highlights Design Flaw Sevilla, Spain – A local mechanic, Talleres Ebenezer, recently highlighted a critical car safety concern in a viral video. The video demonstrates that even with the seatbelt fastened, the door of certain car models can still be opened. This is due to a design flaw that allows enough space for someone to reach in and unlock the door. "Many people believe that a fastened seatbelt provides additional security against theft," explains Ebenezer. "But this video shows that's not always the case." He demonstrates this by easily opening the car door while the seatbelt is still engaged. Ebenezer warns viewers to rely on the car's central locking system for security, not just the seatbelt. The video has sparked a discussion on social media about car safety and the importance of reviewing the security features of one's vehicle. The mechanic also stresses the importance of verifying information seen online before acting upon it. The video serves as a reminder to always double-check car security and to be cautious about online safety tips.
