Position Your Head Rest To Avoid Injury

Saturday, 19. September 2009

If you buy my book, An Insider Guide To Car Finance, you receive a free book on general hints, tips and safety. One of the things I cover is setting the headrest at the correct height. A very important piece of information as proven by recent research by Brake and Direct Line Car Insurance in which it was shown that 2 out of 3 drivers don’t know the correct position for head restraints. The top of the head restraint should be level with the top of the head in order to give it protection and stop the neck ‘hyper-extending’ backwards in a crash, potentially breaking it or resulting in other severe injuries. Of course I have been telling clients this for years! By Graham Hill
