Question 237
Is it dangerous not to fasten your seat belt?

- Yes, because in a low-speed collision it is not always possible to stay in your seat.
- Not fastening your seat belt is only dangerous in the front seats.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because in a low-speed collision it is not always possible to stay in your seat.
Even in a low-speed collision, an occupant can be thrown violently if their seat belt is not fastened. That is why going without it is dangerous in city driving as well.
