|
|
|
Only required to use the shoulder belt.
|
|
|
Required to use both the lap and shoulder belt.
|
Explanation
Wearing both the lap and shoulder belts is essential for your safety in your vehicle. Wearing both parts of the seat belt system provides maximum protection in the event of a crash. In a crash, the shoulder belt will help to keep you in the seat and protect your chest and upper body, while the lap belt will help to keep your hips and lower body in place. Wearing either part alone greatly reduces your protection.
