The submarining effect, which in a traffic accident can cause serious injuries to the driver, is related to...
- Improper use of the seat belt.
- Incorrect tire pressure.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Improper use of the seat belt.
It’s related to improper seat belt use. If the strap is loose or incorrectly positioned, the seatback is reclined too far, or something is placed on the seat, your body can slide under the lap belt in a crash, and your knees can hit the dashboard.
