Which TWO of the following are cases in which a seat belt need not be worn while driving a vehicle? Select TWO
💡 Hint
Wearing a seat belt is the rule, and the only exceptions are the reasons set out in the proviso to Article 50(1) of the Road Traffic Act and Article 31 of the Enforcement Rule. Think about whether circumstances the driver judges personally, such as distance or time of day, are on that list.
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
The proviso to Article 50(1) of the Road Traffic Act and Article 31 of the Enforcement Rule list the cases where a seat belt need not be worn, including driving to reverse the vehicle and an emergency vehicle being operated for its original purpose. A short trip or light traffic is not an exception. Crashes happen even on short trips and quiet roads, so the seat belt must be worn.
