Explanation
It is important to wear your seat belt correctly by using both the lap belt and shoulder harness. Here’s how to buckle up for optimal safety:
– Adjust the lap belt snugly across your hip bones, below your stomach. The lap belt should never be worn across your stomach or the soft part of your abdomen.
– Position the shoulder belt across your chest, ensuring it is away from your neck. NEVER place the shoulder belt behind your back or under an arm.
When seat belts are used properly, they significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in a collision and help keep you in the proper driving position.
