When should your safety belt be fastened?
- Before the engine is started — Correct answer
- Only after reaching highway speed
- Only when a police officer is nearby
- Once you have left the parking lot
Explanation: 「Buckle up before you start up.」 Your safety belt should be fastened before the engine is started, so you are protected from the very first moment the vehicle could move.

Where should the diagonal (shoulder) part of the seat belt be worn?
- Across the upper chest — Correct answer
- Behind your back for comfort
- Under your arm
- Across your throat and neck
Explanation: Wear the diagonal belt across the upper chest. Slipping it behind your back decreases the belt's ability to protect you from injury.

Why is keeping the diagonal strap in place important?
- Seat belts distribute crash force over two areas of the body — Correct answer
- It keeps the lap belt from unlatching
- It is only there to hold your clothing flat
- It activates the airbag sensor
Explanation: Seat belts are designed to distribute crash force over two areas of the body. Without the diagonal strap in place, that distribution is impossible.
