Correct answer
- CSí, porque puede provocar lesiones graves.Yes, because it can cause serious injuries.
Under Article 117 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), all vehicle occupants must wear a seat belt. It is designed to reduce injuries in an accident. If the seat belt is not worn correctly, its effectiveness is greatly reduced, which can lead to serious injuries in accidents, even if there is an airbag. Airbags are complementary and do not replace the need to wear a seat belt. So the correct statement is that not wearing the seat belt properly can affect the injuries caused by an accident.
