Are seat belts effective in reducing the severity of injuries in the event of an accident?

Correct answer

Yes, provided they are used properly.

Yes. Properly fitted, it helps restrain the occupant and reduces the risk of ejection or impact with the vehicle interior; it does not guarantee no injury. It must have no slack or twists, with the lower strap over the pelvis and the diagonal over the shoulder and chest, not the neck. Use it in rear seats when required too; children must use the appropriate restraint under the rules.
