Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor infront of you. The lap part of the belt should be wornlow and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bonesand you would be less likely to slide under the lapbelt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force onyour abdomen. This could cause serious or evenfatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over theshoulder and across the chest. These parts of the bodyare best able to take belt restraining forces.
The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop orcrash.
