The second collision is when the windshield or steering column stops you if you do not wear your safety belt.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It is the first collision
• D. They are not related

Answer: (A)

In a crash, there are three successive events. First, the car hits something. Second, because you’re moving at the car’s speed, your body would continue forward and collide with the interior of the car—like the windshield or steering column. Wearing a seat belt keeps you in place, reducing or preventing that interior impact. Without the belt, your body is not restrained and can be violently stopped by the windshield or steering wheel, causing serious injury. That’s why this statement is true. The other options don’t fit because they mix up the sequence or say there’s no relation.
