Question 8076
Is it advisable to use cushions on the seats?
- Yes, to avoid fatigue.
- Only on the driver's seat because it improves visibility and safety.
- No, because the seat belt can lose its effectiveness.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because the seat belt can lose its effectiveness.
No. Seats are designed to keep your body from sliding and to position the seat belt across your hips and chest. A cushion raises you up and changes that support, so you can slide under the lap belt in a crash. This also applies to the driver, even if they want a better view. In the picture, the driver is sitting on a cushion.
