My sister was in a severe car accident last summer. She has suffered severe injuries to her lower back and it has all but turned her life upside down.
She is only 4'10" and she weighs about 80#s. One of the reasons the doctors say she is having so many problems is because of her size, the seat belt was not positioned properly across her body when the other driver hit her(she was the driver of her car and was in the left turn lane at a red light and the guy coming from the opposite direction pretty much hit her straight on going 40 miles an hour instead of stopping).
This might be a crazy idea (don't laugh ) but could an adult of that size use a no back booster even when driving (assuming that she could still touch the pedals of course) to make the seat belt fit properly or once a person is old enough is the idea that even if they are small they should know how to position the seat belt properly on themselves?
I would really love to offer her some suggestion to help her feel a little better about driving in a car again because now she is totally paranoid that the seat belt doesn't fit her properly (among other things I'm sure). Thanks!
