Question 8081
Before setting off, is it advisable to adjust the height of the head restraints on the seats that will be occupied?
- No, it is advisable for them to be positioned right against the seat.
- Only the driver's head restraint should be adjusted so that they are comfortable with their head resting on it.
- Yes, to reduce the risk of suffering a neck injury in the event of a crash.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to reduce the risk of suffering a neck injury in the event of a crash.
Yes. Before you start driving, adjust the head restraint on every occupied seat to the height of the person using it, in both the front and back. When fully lowered, it sits at neck level and won’t stop the head from moving backward. Properly positioned, it reduces the risk of neck injury.
