Apenas en un accidente de cada millón podría ser más seguro NO hacer uso del cinturón de seguridad, por lo que se puede afirmar que:
In barely one accident in a million could it be safer NOT to wear a seat belt, so we can say that:

- BSólo es útil a altas velocidades.It is only useful at high speeds.
- CSu obligatoriedad está más que justificada.Making it compulsory is more than justified.

Correct answer
- CSu obligatoriedad está más que justificada.Making it compulsory is more than justified.
Making the seat belt compulsory is more than justified, because using it correctly greatly reduces the number and severity of injuries in an accident. Although in very rare and specific cases it could be safer not to wear it, statistics show that in most cases the seat belt is highly effective in preventing serious injuries or even death. So making it compulsory is backed by evidence, and its main aim is to protect the life and physical safety of the vehicle's occupants.
