  2. No, the seat belt is always effective.
  3. No, as long as the vehicle also has an airbag installed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, since you can suffer serious injuries.

Yes. A seat belt worn incorrectly does not restrain you as well and can injure you. In the image, the shoulder belt runs across the driver's neck, where it causes serious injuries in a crash.
