C)Yes, always.Correct
The use of a seatbelt is mandatory both when driving on urban roads and on interurban roads.
Traffic accidents can happen at any time and it is better to always be protected.
For the seatbelt to be effective and able to fulfil its function, it must be approved, properly anchored, adjusted and fitted to the body, and correctly fastened.
A seat that is too reclined, or the use of cushions, towels or unsuitable seat covers, can produce the submarining effect, which is when the seatbelt is unable to restrain us during the accident and we slide under the abdominal strap.
