As a routine check, should you inspect seat-belt anchorages and check that the belt works?

Correct answer

Yes, through routine checks and professional inspection if abnormalities are found.

Yes. Visually check for apparent damage or looseness and check that the belt, buckle and retractor work correctly, following the manual. A user check does not certify anchorage strength or replace professional inspections. If a fault is found or a crash has occurred, have a workshop inspect and, where required, replace the system; do not dismantle, modify or load-test it yourself.
