This is an utterly random act of kindness in the form of a public service announcement to all of you readers who own, or have family members who own, any form of transportation that have more than three wheels, and have back seats:
.
Put on your safety belts eventhough you are sitting in the back seats. If they don't happen to have any, get some installed... And don't tell me that it's not a punishable offence until August (for Malaysians, of course, but there's nothing RM 100 can't do).
.
And I'm not being sarcastic, as much as the first paragraph seems to suggest otherwise. It's for your own good unless you want to hit the seat in front of you with a force of 10 kN (killer-newtons, yes, I know, bad joke), or you were able to install airbags behind the front seats. I did the math on the way back from Kedah, the physics and numbers don't lie. Try it yourself, if you have a calculator with you.
.
F = (mv) / t [ m = your mass , v = velocity of car prior to impact, t = impact time, about 0.1 -0.2 seconds]
.
So, yes, buckle up at the back, please. It's for your own good.
PS: 10 kN is approximately equal to 1 tonne of mass.
