A few years ago there was a series of adverts in the UK advertising exactly this danger. You might think you're OK with only a broken nose, but you've just crushed the person in front of you to death.
Sorry to sound so melodramatic, but I think that was the point of the advert!
I remember those adverts. I think they were very timely (1998) because it was only 1991 legislation came in to affect that required adults to wear seat belts in the back of the car. Various seatbelt changes were finally implemented in the 80s and early 90s, but attitudes unfortunately had not shifted much (the people who I knew, anyway).
Also, my parents and grandparents grew up in different times in which seat belts were not required, or even present in the rear.
That video also highlights something I do too often: paying too much attention to what's going on behind. The dangers ahead are far greater.

It was her son."
