In the state of New York, ____ must wear seat belts in moving vehicles.
- Only drivers
- Only passengers
- Drivers and all passengers ✓
- Only children
Answer: C. Drivers and all passengers
In New York, drivers and all passengers must wear seat belts in moving vehicles.
Why this is the answer
The manual says you and each passenger must wear a seat belt, one per person. Chapter 8 adds that New York requires seat belt use by adults and child restraints for children, and that the driver must be properly restrained. That covers both the person behind the wheel and everyone riding along, so the rule is not limited to drivers, passengers alone, or children.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Only drivers — This is wrong because the manual says each passenger must wear a seat belt too, not just the driver.
- B. Only passengers — This is wrong because the driver must be properly restrained by a seat belt as well.
- D. Only children — This is wrong because adults and passengers sixteen or older must wear seat belts, and every child passenger needs a correct restraint.
Remember it
Remember the rule as one belt per person, from the driver's seat to the back seat.
