Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because it can reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt.
No. A cushion changes the shape of the seat, which is designed to keep you from sliding. In a crash, your body can slide under the lap belt, which is called submarining. In the image, the driver is sitting on a blue cushion.
