Question 6427

When backing up to park, is the driver required to wear a seat belt?

  1. Yes, only taxi drivers on urban roads are exempt.
  2. Yes, when the speed is above 20 km/h.
  3. No, it is not required.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is not required.

It is not required. When backing up or parking, the driver may go without a seat belt, like the driver in the image, who turns to look behind her. This does not depend on speed, and taxi drivers have no exemption of their own.
