Correct answer
Yes, because even in a low-speed collision it is not always possible to remain restrained in your seat.
In all cases, it is dangerous not to fasten your seat belt, because even in a low-speed collision it is not always possible to remain restrained in your seat. The seat belt's purpose is to restrain the body in the event of a collision or rollover, preventing occupants from being violently thrown around inside the vehicle or ejected from it. Wearing it can reduce the probability of being killed in an accident by almost half. It is essential that everyone travelling in the vehicle wears it at all times, including passengers in the rear seats. If they do not wear the seat belt, they can be thrown forward, striking or crushing the other occupants, which can cause them serious injuries or even death.
