Under which circumstances should you operate a pupil transportation vehicle?

• A. When both the operator and passengers are wearing a safety belt that is properly adjusted and fastened.
• B. When only the passengers are wearing a safety belt that is properly adjusted and fastened
• C. You can operate the vehicle at any time
• D. When only the operator is wearing a safety belt that is properly adjusted and fastened

Answer: (A)

Wearing seat belts is required for everyone in the vehicle before you operate it. The driver must buckle up, and every passenger must have a properly adjusted and fastened belt. This setup protects occupants in a crash or sudden stop and helps you maintain control by keeping people securely in their seats. Operating with any unbelted person increases injury risk and is not acceptable. So the best practice is to move the vehicle only when both the operator and all passengers are belted.
