Which statement about seat belt rules for permit holders is true?

• A. Only the driver must wear a seat belt
• B. Seat belts are optional for passengers
• C. The driver and all passengers must wear seat belts
• D. Seat belts are not required in the back seat

Answer: (C)

Seat belt use is required for every person in the vehicle. The rule applies to the driver and all passengers, in all seating positions, whenever the vehicle is in operation. This protects everyone and helps reduce injuries in crashes, which is why the statement that the driver and all passengers must wear seat belts is the true one. The other options suggest seat belts aren’t required for passengers or in the back seat, which isn’t correct.
