Correct answer
Yes, it halves the risk of death or suffering serious injuries.
The seat belt halves the risk of death or suffering serious injuries in a road traffic accident. Its function is to restrain the body in the event of a collision or rollover, preventing occupants from being struck violently or ejected from the vehicle. This greatly reduces the likelihood of death. It is essential that all passengers, including those in the rear seats, use a seat belt, as in the event of an accident, they could be thrown violently and cause serious injury or death to other occupants. Therefore, its use is indispensable for the safety of all occupants of the vehicle.
