Question 1389

Is it appropriate for the driver of a passenger car to use a cushion on their seat?

  1. Yes, because the added height improves the driver's field of vision.
  2. No, because it can limit the effectiveness of the seat belt.
  3. Yes, because the driver is more comfortable.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it can limit the effectiveness of the seat belt.

Adding a cushion to the seat can change the driver's posture and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt. It can also make the body more likely to slide underneath it.
