Is it advisable to have the seat belt checked after an accident?

  1. Yes, the webbing or anchoring systems may have been damaged.
  2. No, it is a safety feature that should never be replaced.
  3. No, because its effectiveness has been proven.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, the webbing or anchoring systems may have been damaged.

An accident can damage the seat belt webbing or its anchor points, even if the damage is not visible. The belt must therefore be inspected, and anything that has lost its ability to restrain an occupant must be replaced.
