be in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.

your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious
internal injuries.

back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
