Question 8038
If a driver wears the lap belt over the abdomen, in a serious crash the seat belt will most likely...
- cause serious internal injuries during a crash.
- come loose from its anchor points.
- work more effectively.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: cause serious internal injuries during a crash.
It can cause serious internal injuries. When positioned over your abdomen, the belt presses against a soft area in a crash, and your body can also slide under it. Position it over your hip bones. In the image, the driver is wearing it too high, over his abdomen.
