Why should you reduce speed in residential areas?

401. Why should you reduce speed in residential areas?

Parked vehicles have priority over moving traffic.
Overtaking is prohibited throughout residential areas.
Traffic from side roads must always give way.
✓ Pedestrians, cyclists, and children may be nearby.

Residential areas often have pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles, driveways, and children, and hazards may appear suddenly. Lower speed gives you more time to react and stop safely.

Why should a seat belt not be twisted when worn?

402. Why should a seat belt not be twisted when worn?

A twisted belt makes the brakes less effective.
A flat belt makes the seat easier to adjust.
A twisted belt can cause the buckle to open.
✓ A flat belt spreads collision forces more effectively.

A seat belt should lie flat against the body without twists. A twisted belt concentrates force over a smaller area and may provide less effective protection in a collision.
