That would be true because of momentum but the seat belt would slow this you would still hit the dash or a steering wheel's air bag system if it is equipped with one

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation: When there is a crash, while the car stops (because of the impact ) the person inside the vehicle has momentum, and because of this is that the person is hurled forward until they impact with something inside the automobile, for example, the steering wheel or airbags, and this problem is solved with the use of safety seatbelts, that keep the driver in the seat and reduce their momentum at the same time as the car stops.
