In Ontario, you must wear a seatbelt…?
- During the hours of darkness
- At all times ✓
- On high-speed highways
- In urban areas
Answer: B. At all times
You must wear a seatbelt at all times when travelling in any vehicle equipped with seatbelts.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says you must use your seatbelt every time you travel in a vehicle that has seatbelts, and all passengers must be buckled up in their own seatbelt, child car seat or booster seat. It does not make the rule depend on darkness, road speed or whether you are in a city. That makes wearing a seatbelt a general requirement for every trip, which matches the answer that you must wear one at all times.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. During the hours of darkness — Seatbelt use is required every time you travel in a vehicle with seatbelts, not only during the hours of darkness.
- C. On high-speed highways — The handbook does not limit the seatbelt requirement to high-speed highways; it applies in any vehicle equipped with seatbelts.
- D. In urban areas — The rule is not limited to urban areas, because it applies every time you travel in a vehicle that has seatbelts.
Remember it
Treat buckling up as part of every trip, not as a rule for certain roads or certain hours.
