How much do Volvo seat belts increase the stopping distance during a crash?
Find answers to your legal question.

During a car crash, how much do seat belts increase the stopping distance by; preferably in Volvo's however, any type of car would be fine. Also, is there a difference between the stopping distance of a seat belt which is retracted and one which is not. Any equations would also be very helpful. And please include a website source.

Seat belts have nothing at all to do with stopping...brakes do however...

i agree with manny - the seat belts affect you. only the brakes affect the stopping distance. if you have a newer volvo that isnt an xc90, the stopping distance will probably be 150 downwards.

They don't increase or decrease the stopping distance of your Volvo. They do however keep you from going threw the windshield when you are in a accident,Sorry there is no web sight for Volvo seat belts stopping distance during a crash.

The seat belt won't make the car stop quicker, it just makes sure you don't keep on going!
