Question 5720

May a minor under 18 years of age who is 140 centimeters tall occupy the front seat of a passenger car?

  1. Yes, using the seat belt.
  2. No, because they do not reach 150 centimeters in height.
  3. No, minors under 12 years of age are always prohibited from using the front seats.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, using the seat belt.

Yes. At 140 cm, the child is taller than 135 cm, so they use the adult seat belt and may ride in front or in back, like the girl in the image. Age does not matter for this, and the rule does not require a height of 150 cm.
