Question 6140
Is it dangerous not to wear your seat belt?
- Not in urban traffic, because of the low speeds at which you are driving.
- It is only dangerous not to wear a seat belt in the front seats.
- Yes, because even in a low-speed collision it is not always possible to keep yourself held in the seat.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because even in a low-speed collision it is not always possible to keep yourself held in the seat.
Yes. Even in a low-speed crash, your arms cannot hold you in your seat. At 50 km/h, a person weighing 70 kg is thrown forward as if they weighed more than 3,000 kg. The same applies in city traffic and in the rear seats.
