According to the Florida manual, how do airbags relate to safety belts?
-
A.
Airbags deploy only when a safety belt is unbuckled.
-
B.
Airbags are not a substitute for safety belts. Correct
-
C.
Airbags remove the need to restrain young children.
-
D.
Airbags replace the need for safety belts in newer cars.
The answer is "Airbags are not a substitute for safety belts."
The manual is blunt: airbags are not a substitute for safety belts. A driver of a newer vehicle full of airbags may believe the technology has caught up enough to skip the belt, but the manual pairs the two systems and treats the belt as still required.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Airbags deploy only when a safety belt is unbuckled.
The manual describes airbags as working with belts, not instead of them. This answer confuses seat-belt tension sensors with a rule about when airbags deploy.
C. Airbags remove the need to restrain young children.
Child restraints are still required, and rear-facing seats must stay away from airbags. This answer reverses the airbag-and-child rule, treating the hazard as a substitute for the restraint.
D. Airbags replace the need for safety belts in newer cars.
The manual specifically states airbags do not replace belts. This answer assumes newer safety equipment cancels older requirements, a habit the manual explicitly refuses.
