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 
properly.
