But don’t have
a
seatback reclined if
your
vehicle
is
moving.
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do
its
job because
it
won’t be against your body. Instead,
it
will be in
front of you. In
a
crash you could
go
into
it,
receiving neck
or
other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do
its
job either.
In
a
crash
the belt could go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be there, not
at
your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then
sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety
belt properly.
