Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it is a violation that results in the loss of 4 points from the driver's point balance.

Yes. A child who is 135 cm tall or shorter must use a child restraint system. If the child is not using one or it is improperly fastened, you, as the driver, lose 4 points. In the image, the girl’s seat belt is unfastened.
