Correct answer
- CSí, ya que la mayor parte de los accidentes se producen en recorridos cortos.Yes, because most accidents happen on short journeys.
The seat belt is necessary on short journeys because most accidents happen on short trips. Even if the driver knows the route or it is only on roads in built-up areas, you cannot predict when an accident will happen. The seat belt protects the vehicle's occupants in a sudden stop or collision, preventing violent movements inside the vehicle or being thrown out of it. So it is important to fasten your seat belt at all times, however long the journey.
