Question 8076

Is it advisable to use cushions on the seats?

  1. Yes, to avoid fatigue.
  2. Only on the driver's seat because it improves visibility and safety.
  3. 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.
