Correct answer
- CSí, porque incluso en un choque a baja velocidad no siempre se puede permanecer en el asiento sin el cinturón.Yes, because even in a low-speed crash you cannot always stay in your seat without a seat belt.
Explanation
Yes. Even at low speed, in a crash an occupant without a seat belt is thrown against the steering wheel, the windscreen or the other occupants, in the front and in the back. That is why Article 117 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires it to be worn fastened on roads inside and outside built-up areas and in all seats.
