Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure that the **seat belt** functions correctly and protects you in the event of an accident, it is essential to **check the anchors and locks**. These are the points where the belt attaches to the vehicle and where it fastens. If these components are damaged or not working properly, the belt will not be able to perform its function of keeping you safe in the seat.
- The seat belt must be **securely attached to the vehicle's bodywork**. This means that the anchors must be firm and without defects.
- It is important to **check the belt periodically** and take it to the workshop if you detect any problems, such as a lock that does not work well or a loose anchor.
Checking the anchors and locks is essential to ensure that the seat belt can adequately protect you in the event of a sudden impact or if the vehicle overturns.
