Question 3459
Can carrying a small object, such as a briefcase, laptop, etc., on the vehicle's rear seat be dangerous in an accident?
- No, because these objects are lightweight.
- No, unless there are passengers in the rear seat.
- Yes, because these objects can strike with great force and injure the occupants.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because these objects can strike with great force and injure the occupants.
In a collision, loose objects continue moving due to inertia and can strike the occupants. Even small objects can cause injuries if they are not properly secured.
