Question 4153
The lap portion of the seat belt must be worn...
- over the hip bones, always below the abdomen.
- over the hip bones or over the abdomen.
- over the abdomen, only.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: over the hip bones, always below the abdomen.
The lap belt goes across your hip bones, always below your abdomen. If you wear it across your abdomen, it presses against a soft area in a crash and can cause serious internal injuries. Your body can also slide underneath it.
