Question 1191 in the bank

Do the driver and passengers of a public minibus need to wear seatbelts whilst driving?

  1. Yes, but on interurban roads only.
  2. Yes, but only on freeways.
  3. Yes, but only on urban roads.
  4. Correct answer: Yes, on every type of road.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, on every type of road.

In a public minibus, the driver and every passenger must wear a seatbelt on every type of road: urban, interurban and freeway. The duty does not depend on the road type or speed, because even a low-speed crash in town can seriously injure someone who is not buckled up. Answers limiting the duty to one kind of road are therefore wrong.
