But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle is
moving.
Sitting
in
a reclined position when your vehic
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 it’s 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.
