Correct answer
- ASí, siempre.Yes, always.
Wearing a seat belt is compulsory on both urban and interurban roads. Road accidents can happen at any time, and it is better always to be protected. For the seat belt to be effective and do its job, it must be approved, properly anchored, adjusted to fit the body and correctly fastened. A seat that is tilted back too far, or unsuitable cushions, towels or seat covers, can cause submarining, which is when the seat belt cannot hold us in the accident and we slide down under the lap strap.
