Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
- b 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.
