Question 6303

Is a pregnant woman required to wear a seat belt?

  1. No, it is not required.
  2. Yes, but only on roads outside built-up areas.
  3. Yes, it is required.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it is required.

Yes. Pregnancy does not exempt you from wearing a seat belt on any road. Without it, even a minor crash can make your belly hit the steering wheel. Position the shoulder portion along one side of your belly and the lap portion below it, like the driver in the image. You may go without it if you have a medical exemption certificate.
