Who is required to wear a seatbelt according to Ohio law?

• A. Driver and front seat passengers
• B. Rear seat passengers only
• C. Drivers only
• D. All passengers regardless of seating

Answer: (A)

In Ohio, the rule for wearing seat belts centers on front-seat occupants. The driver and anyone riding in the front seat must buckle up. This focus exists because the front seats pose the highest risk in crashes and the driver has a responsibility to ensure belt use. So the best answer reflects that the belt requirement applies to the driver and front-seat passengers. While it’s always wise for everyone in the vehicle to belt up, this particular law emphasizes protection in the front seats.
