Did you know your car might have a rear seat belt, and a passenger should mandatorily wear it? Maharashtra Transport Commissioner Shekhar Channe admitted that he thought his official vehicle did not have a rear seat belt till recently, and he was himself unaware about a rule on wearing it, till he took charge of the post.

"My driver too was confused, but then he found it buried deep under the seats. I now use it every time I am in the rear seat. There is a need to be more aware about such little known but important rules," Channe told mid-day.
