Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: can save the lives of its occupants and prevents them from causing serious injuries to others.
In the back, you’re traveling at the same speed as those in front, and the seat belt restrains you just the same in a crash. Without it, you could die and be thrown against the people in front, seriously injuring them. That’s why it protects everyone, both in cities and on roads outside them, including the rear passengers in the picture.
