Correct answer
- ASí, porque el airbag es un elemento que complementa la eficacia del cinturón, pero no lo sustituye.Yes, because the airbag adds to the effectiveness of the seat belt but does not replace it.
An airbag is a safety device that is activated in an impact to protect the vehicle's occupants. However, it cannot replace the seat belt. The seat belt keeps occupants in place and stops them from being thrown forward in a crash. So both devices work together to increase safety. Wearing a seat belt is compulsory, even if the vehicle has airbags.
