A) Enhance vehicle comfort and interior aesthetics.

B) Significantly reduce injury risk in a crash and are mandated by law.

A) Snugly and positioned below the baby.

B) Tightly across her stomach area.

C) Loosely around her waistline.

4.Why is it unsafe to wear the shoulder strap of a seatbelt under the arm or behind the back?

A) It can quickly damage the seatbelt material.

B) It prevents the cars airbag from deploying correctly.

C) It could lead to serious internal injuries in a collision.

5.In a sudden vehicle stop, what happens to an unbelted passengers body?

A) Their body will stop instantly with the car.

B) Their body continues moving forward until it strikes an obstacle.

C) They are gently held in place by friction.

D) They will float harmlessly in the air.

6.During a crash, how do the lap belt and shoulder belt of a seatbelt function together?

A) The lap belt secures you down, and the shoulder belt holds you back.

B) The lap belt pushes you forward, while the shoulder belt loosens.

C) Both belts release tension to absorb impact forces.

D) The lap belt prevents ejection, and the shoulder belt provides comfort.

Correcte! Faux!

The lap belt works to hold the occupant securely down across the hips, while the shoulder belt holds them back against the seat, together distributing crash forces across strong bony structures.

7.What is a significant safety advantage of wearing a seatbelt, even if your vehicle is involved in a fire or water submersion incident?

A) The seatbelt guarantees automatic release.

B) Staying conscious improves your chances of escaping quickly.

C) The seatbelt serves as a flotation device.

D) It prevents any vehicle damage in such incidents.

Correcte! Faux!

Wearing a seatbelt reduces the severity of the initial impact, increasing the likelihood that occupants remain conscious. Staying conscious is critical for the ability to react and escape from hazardous situations like vehicle fires or submersion in water.

A) A chest clip only.

B) A lap belt solely.

C) A tether strap.

B) To increase the childs comfort during car rides.

C) To provide a better view for the child from the window.

D) To offer extra storage for childrens toys.

A) 8 years of age.

B) 10 years of age.

C) 12 years of age.

020/20

20.Why should a vehicle seat not be deeply reclined when a passenger is wearing a seatbelt?

A) It might cause damage to the seatbelt mechanism.

B) It could allow the passenger to slide out from under the seatbelt in a crash.

C) It makes the seatbelt fit uncomfortably tight.

D) It might inadvertently activate the vehicles alarm system.

Correcte! Faux!

Seatbelts are designed to work effectively with upright seating positions. A deeply reclined seat can allow a passenger to submarine or slide out from under the lap belt during a crash, leading to severe injuries.
