It’s imperative that when you get inside a car, the first thing you do is to fasten your seatbelt. It’s a very easy process and contributes a lot to saving your life in case of an accident.
First, make sure you are seated comfortably. Take the lap belt and pull it across your lower hip. Make sure the fit is comfortable and firm. Do not place this over your stomach as force collission can damage the soft tissues there.
Take the shoulder belt portion and pull it across your chest, making sure that the fit is snug and comfortable. Make sure that the shoulder belt does not go across your neck or face. Wear it over your arm, not under it. This can damage your ribs in case of a collission.
Place the belt buckle into the seat belt port. Push until you hear a clicking sound.
