What should a driver do to reduce the risk of neck injury in the event of a rear-end collision?

Correct Answer

Use a properly adjusted head restraint.

Explanation: It is essential that head restraints be properly adjusted for both the driver and the passengers. Head restraints are designed to protect the neck and spine in a collision and thus prevent or reduce whiplash. If head restraints are not properly adjusted there is an increased risk to the vehicles occupants.
