  2. B.Only front seatbelts will activate.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. All persons in each vehicle are thrown violently forward.

In a head-on collision passengers in both vehicles are propelled forwards, and if they are not wearing seatbelts they may go through the windscreen. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that all passengers under the age of 17 wear seatbelts. Older passengers are themselves responsible for wearing seatbelts.
