Seatbelts are required for which occupants?

• A. Everyone in the front seat
• B. The driver only
• C. Only back seat passengers
• D. No one

Answer: (A)

Wearing seat belts is about reducing injury by restraining movement in a crash. Front-seat occupants face the most immediate danger and are the focus of basic belt-use rules, so the requirement is that everyone in the front seat must buckle up. This covers the driver and any front-seat passenger, since belt use in the front clearly improves safety and is the part most often emphasized by law and training. The other options imply either no belt at all or restricting the rule to back-seat occupants, which doesn’t align with the safety intent or common enforcement, even though some places also require belts in the back.
