Before switching on the ignition, you should:
- Buckle your safety belt.
- Be sure all passengers have buckled their safety belts.
- Both of the above. ✓
Answer: C. Both of the above.
Both buckling your own safety belt and making sure all passengers have buckled their safety belts.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says you and each passenger must wear a seat belt, one per person, and that the driver must be properly restrained. It also says the driver must make sure younger passengers are properly restrained. So buckling yourself and checking that everyone else is buckled are both part of the same seat-belt rule. The manual does not use the exact phrase "before switching on the ignition," but both actions follow from the requirement to be restrained and to see that passengers are restrained.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Buckle your safety belt. — Buckling only yourself leaves out the handbook's requirement that each passenger also be properly restrained, and the driver's responsibility to make sure passengers are restrained.
- B. Be sure all passengers have buckled their safety belts. — Checking only passengers leaves out the handbook's requirement that the driver also be properly restrained by a seat belt.
Remember it
Use the one-belt-per-person check: your belt first, then each passenger's belt.
