Correct answer
No.
Highly resistant bodywork alone cannot replace passive safety systems in a vehicle. Although strong, well-constructed bodywork is an important component of vehicle safety, passive safety systems such as airbags, seat belts and child restraint systems play essential and specific roles in protecting occupants in the event of an accident. Robust bodywork helps absorb and distribute impact forces during a collision, while passive safety systems are designed to reduce the risk of injury to occupants.
