Seat Belts, Child Restraints & Distractions

How should a seat belt be worn to protect you best?

  • A.Loose, with the shoulder belt behind your back
  • B.Only across the chest, with no lap belt
  • C.Snug across the hips and chest, with the lap belt low on the hips
  • D.Under one arm so it feels looser
Correct answer

C. Snug across the hips and chest, with the lap belt low on the hips

Why

Wear the lap belt low and snug on the hips and the shoulder belt across the chest. Putting the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm greatly reduces protection.
