Solution

The occupants will keep moving with the same speed at which the car was travelling until they are brought to a stop by the seatbelts. This is due to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion. When the car stops suddenly, the occupants' bodies want to keep moving at the same speed and direction. The seatbelts provide a force to counteract this motion, bringing the occupants to a stop.
