Question 4620

Head restraints are primarily intended to...

  1. support the head and prevent the onset of neck fatigue.
  2. install video players for the occupants of the rear seats.
  3. protect the neck in the event of an accident.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: protect the neck in the event of an accident.

The head restraint is a passive safety feature. Properly adjusted, it stops your head from moving backward in a crash and protects your neck from whiplash. It is not meant for you to rest your head against while driving. In the image, the driver is adjusting it by hand.
