Question 1211
In an accident, if the seat belt is loose despite being buckled…
- Its effectiveness will not be affected if it is positioned correctly.
- Nothing will happen, since what matters is having it buckled.
- You will travel a greater distance and may hit the steering wheel or windshield.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: You will travel a greater distance and may hit the steering wheel or windshield.
If the seat belt is loose, it takes longer to restrain the body during a collision. That additional movement can cause you to strike the steering wheel or windshield.
