What is a "safety belt"?
A safety belt, also known as a seatbelt, is a device in a vehicle designed to secure passengers in their seats during travel. It helps prevent injuries by keeping passengers in place in the event of a sudden stop or accident. The belt is usually made of strong fabric and has a buckle to fasten it across the lap or across the shoulder and lap. It is a key safety feature in all vehicles, ensuring passengers remain safely restrained and reducing the risk of being thrown from the seat during a collision.
