Safety belts (lap and shoulder), worn correctly, will:

A. prevent crashes
B. reduce the risk of injury
C. are not necessary for trips less than 1 miles from your starting point

1 answer

B. reduce the risk of injury

Wearing safety belts (lap and shoulder) correctly does not prevent crashes but can significantly lower the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Additionally, safety belts are important regardless of the length of the trip, so the statement in option C is incorrect.
