Q:
What
is
wrong
with
this?
A:
The
belt
is
buckled
in
the
wrong
buckle.
{
CAUTION:
You
can
be
seriously
injured
if
your
belt
is
buckled
in
the
wrong
place
like
this.
In
a
crash,
the
belt
would
go
up
over
your
abdomen.
The
belt
forces
would
be
there,
not
on
the
pelvic
bones.
This
could
cause
serious
internal
injuries.
Always
buckle
your
belt
into
the
buckle
nearest
you.
