For the best protection, a Texas driver should wear a seat belt:
- A.Snugly across the hips and chest, with the shoulder belt not behind your back
- B.Loosely so you can move freely
- C.With the shoulder belt behind your back for comfort
- D.Only across the lap, never across the chest
Correct answer
A. Snugly across the hips and chest, with the shoulder belt not behind your back
Why
A belt works only when it is snug across strong parts of the body, the hips and chest. Putting the shoulder belt behind your back removes much of its protection in a crash.
