Question 8072
When the seat belt straps are not pulled tight even though the belt is fastened...
- the seat belt will lose effectiveness and may cause injuries during a crash.
- the seat belt will not lose effectiveness, but it must be replaced.
- it will be uncomfortable, but the seat belt will not lose effectiveness.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the seat belt will lose effectiveness and may cause injuries during a crash.
Even when fastened, a twisted or folded strap doesn’t restrain you as well and concentrates pressure on a smaller area of your body. It can injure you in a crash. Straighten it out before you start driving.
