Positioning the Shoulder Portion of 
the Seat Belt:
Improper positioning of the shoulder 
portion of the seat belt is dangerous. 
An improperly positioned belt will 
provide little or no protection in a 
collision. Always make sure the 
shoulder portion of the seat belt is 
positioned across your shoulder and 
near your neck, but never under your 
arm, on your neck, or on your upper 
arm.
