Question 3874
Measured from the closest part of your body, what is the ideal distance you should sit from the steering wheel to avoid a direct airbag impact in the event of an accident?
- About 25 centimeters.
- Less than 10 centimeters.
- Less than 5 centimeters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: About 25 centimeters.
The ideal distance between the steering wheel and the closest part of your body is about 25 cm. Never sit less than 10 cm away, let alone 5. The airbag inflates very quickly, and if you sit right up against the steering wheel, it hits you square in the face.
