Which of the following statements about safety belts is FALSE?
Correct answer
- They slow your body down with your car.
- You will be trapped after an accident if you wear a safety belt.
- They keep you from being thrown from your car.
Explanation
It is considerably more dangerous to be unrestrained in a crash. If you are wearing your seat belt, you are much more likely to be conscious and unhurt and hence able to escape if you are trapped. Your seat belt also helps keep you behind the wheel no matter what happens. You can?t control your vehicle if you slide out from behind the wheel. Your chances of being killed are four times greater if you are thrown from your car.
