Under safety belt usage, when should the vehicle be operated?

• A. Only if both operator and passengers are wearing safety belts that are properly adjusted and fastened
• B. Only if the operator is wearing a belt
• C. Only if the passengers are wearing belts
• D. Belts are optional

Answer: (A)

Safety belt use before moving is about protecting everyone in the vehicle. The driver should operate the vehicle only when both the operator and all passengers are wearing safety belts that are properly adjusted and fastened. This reduces injury risk in a crash and shows a clear safety standard for students. If any occupant isn’t belted, the vehicle should not be driven until belts are secured. Belts being optional or requiring only the operator or only the passengers to belt up would leave people unprotected and is not appropriate for safe operation.
