Correct answer

  • BSí, para que se adapte mejor al cuerpo dicho cinturón.Yes, so that the seat belt fits the body better.
Explanation

A very bulky item of clothing, such as a thick coat, leaves a gap between the seat belt and the body, so in a crash the belt holds you later and less effectively. That is why it is best to take it off before fastening the seat belt.
