Proper use of a helmet means that the chin strap...

  1. must not be fastened.
  2. may be worn unfastened on urban roads.
  3. must be worn correctly fastened so that the helmet effectively does its job.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: must be worn correctly fastened so that the helmet effectively does its job.

The chin strap must be properly fastened and adjusted, both in city traffic and on roads outside built-up areas. Otherwise, the helmet flies off in a fall and provides very little protection. In the image, the motorcyclist is fastening the strap before setting off.
