Correct answer

  • APara que el cuerpo no choque contra el volante y el parabrisas.To stop the body hitting the steering wheel and the windscreen.
Explanation

In a collision, the body keeps moving at the speed the vehicle was travelling. The seat belt holds it against the seat and stops it hitting the steering wheel, dashboard or windscreen, or being thrown out. It is not for supporting your back or holding the seat in place.
