Question 8073
Is it advisable to use clips so that the seat belt doesn't press against you?
- Yes, because the seat belt does not have to fit snugly against the body.
- No, because the seat belt would lose its effectiveness.
- Only if the clips are officially approved.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because the seat belt would lose its effectiveness.
No. A clip leaves the strap loose, so in a crash your body moves forward before the belt restrains it. This can cause you to hit the steering wheel. No clip is advisable, because the belt needs to fit snugly against your body. In the picture, there’s a black clip on the strap.
