A car driver is about to drive on an ordinary road with one adult and one infant in the back seat. Which statement about seat belts is correct?
💡 Hint
A car driver's seat belt duty extends to passengers as well, and the law also defines what a seat belt means for an infant (Article 50(1) of the Road Traffic Act). It is easy to wrongly assume the duty changes with the type of road or the seat position, so be careful.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Article 50(1) of the Road Traffic Act requires the driver of a motor vehicle (other than a two-wheeled vehicle) not only to wear a seat belt but also to have passengers in every seat wear one. For infants, the seat belt means one fastened after installing a child safety seat. The back seat is not exempt depending on the type of road, and holding a child in an adult's arms is not an exception either.
