Question 4666

If your vehicle has an airbag...

  1. you must not use a seat belt, because it can be very dangerous.
  2. you must also wear a seat belt.
  3. the use of a seat belt is not required.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: you must also wear a seat belt.

You must wear a seat belt too. The airbag supplements it rather than replacing it. The seat belt slows your body down first, and the airbag helps in the final moments of the crash. Without a seat belt, the airbag hits you as it inflates. In the image, both occupants are wearing seat belts and their airbags have deployed.
