What does the law state about seatbelt use while driving?

The law mandates that seatbelts must always be worn while driving to enhance safety for all occupants in the vehicle. This requirement is in place regardless of the specific situation, including when the vehicle is moving forward, and the stipulation regarding reversals is often included to emphasize that seatbelt usage is generally necessary for safety compliance at all times except in very specific and rare circumstances.

This approach is designed to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident. Wearing a seatbelt significantly lowers the chances of being ejected from the vehicle and can help lessen the severity of injuries during collisions. By reinforcing that all occupants must wear seatbelts, the law aims to promote a culture of safety on the roads.

In contrast, other options imply either a lack of necessity or limitations on when seatbelts should be worn, which does not align with the legal requirements established in most jurisdictions.
