Question 4165

When driving a passenger car, is it ever allowed to go without the seat belt?

  1. The driver may not, but passengers riding in the back seats may.
  2. No, except for the driver when performing a backing-up or parking maneuver.
  3. Yes, when driving on urban roads.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, except for the driver when performing a backing-up or parking maneuver.

No. In a passenger car, everyone must wear a seat belt, in the front and back, both in town and on the open road. The driver may go without it while backing up or parking, like the driver in the image. Sitting in the back or driving in town does not exempt you from wearing it.
