Explanation
Wearing a seat belt significantly increases your chances of surviving a collision, but it must be worn correctly to be effective. The lap belt should fit snugly and rest low across your hips, as the hip bones can better absorb impact than the soft abdominal area. Proper positioning helps keep you securely restrained in the event of a crash, reducing the risk of sliding out and minimizing the likelihood of serious injury or fatality.
