Correct answer

  • ASí, porque incluso en un choque a baja velocidad no siempre es posible mantenerse sujeto en el asiento.Yes, because even in a low-speed crash you cannot always stay held in your seat.
Explanation

Not fastening your seat belt is always dangerous: even in a low-speed crash, the force of the impact makes it impossible to hold yourself with your arms, and the occupant is thrown forward. It is compulsory on all roads, in and outside built-up areas, and in all seats, including the rear ones.
