Can the seatbelt be loosened for comfort if it feels too tight?

The seatbelt must remain snug at all times during the operation of the vehicle for safety reasons. A properly adjusted seatbelt is essential for its effectiveness in restraining the occupant in the event of a sudden stop or collision. Loosening the seatbelt, even slightly, can significantly reduce its ability to protect the passenger and increases the risk of injury.

While comfort is important, it should never compromise safety. A snug seatbelt ensures that the straps will engage correctly with the body during an impact, covering critical areas and minimizing movement. Therefore, ensuring that the seatbelt remains snug is a fundamental rule of safe driving.
