How to wear a seat belt correctly?

Seat belts are used to restrain the body so that you are not thrown out of the vehicle in the event of an accident. By using a seat belt, you will avoid a collision with your head. Seat belts can reduce the risk of death in the event of an accident, whether frontal or side impact. For those of you who do not use seat belts, the rules are governed by law.

When using a seat belt, place it straight across your chest and over your upper thighs. By using your seat belt correctly, you will drive safely. If the seat belt is twisted, the pressure designed to protect you will not work properly and, in the event of an accident, this will exert strong pressure on your waist.

Seat belts must be worn across the shoulders by both the driver and passengers. The distance between the head and chest must be at least 25 cm. The belt must not be placed on the stomach, either on the upper or lower part of the abdomen. Seat belts are designed to generate force at the waist so that the body is not thrown forward in the event of an accident. Seat belts must be worn just below the hips. If the belt is positioned over the abdomen, it will not function properly and the body may be thrown forward and suffer serious injury.

A pregnant woman must, of course, use the seat belt correctly. Ensure that the strap is positioned across the chest and directed towards the stomach; do not use the belt on the arm. You must use the seat belt across the lower part of your abdomen and above your waist. Do not use a seat belt that is too tight across your abdomen. ​ By using your seat belt correctly, you drive safely, don't you? ​ ​Have a good trip!
