In Albanian vehicle safety rules, what is the correct way to adjust a vehicle head restraint (mbështetësja e kokës) for optimal whiplash protection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Level with the top of the occupant's head, and positioned as close to the head as possible
- Step 1: Under the Albanian Highway Code (Kodi Rrugor), Aligning the restraint with the crown of the head prevents hyperextension of cervical vertebrae. Answer: Level with the top of the occupant's head, and positioned as close to the head as possible. Why not the others: Positioned level with the base of the neck for comfort does not represent the statutory Albanian safety standard.
