Which of the following is an incorrect method of wearing a seatbelt?

[Multiple choice · Easy]

Answer: C: Adjust the shoulder belt so that it rests on the neck

Explanation

The Rules of the Road states: "The shoulder belt (in the case of a three-point belt) should not be placed over the neck." Adjusting the shoulder belt so that it rests on the neck is an incorrect way to wear it. All other options describe correct wearing methods.

That's the trap. The shoulder belt should cross your shoulder, not rest on your neck—that can injure you in a crash. The correct answer is the third option.

Exactly. Keep it off your neck and make sure the lap belt sits low on your hips.
