Question 4149
In a motor vehicle, which of the following features reduces the risk of neck injury in a collision?
- The ABS brakes.
- The head restraint, properly adjusted.
- The seat belt.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The head restraint, properly adjusted.
A properly adjusted head restraint stops your head from moving backward in a crash, especially if you are hit from behind, reducing neck injuries. Its top edge should be between the top of your head and eye level, and the restraint should be no more than 4 cm from your head. ABS helps you brake, but it does not protect your neck.
