Question 22 in the bank

A back seat passenger must wear a seatbelt. Who is held responsible if a back seat passenger doesn’t wear his seat-belt?

  1. The driver only
  2. Correct answer: The driver and the passenger
  3. The passenger only
  4. The owner of the vehicle

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The driver and the passenger

The duty to wear a seatbelt applies to every passenger, including in the back seat, so a passenger who did not buckle up is responsible for their own actions. The driver also bears responsibility when a passenger in their vehicle is not belted. So the responsibility is that of the driver and the passenger together, not of only one of them.
