Traffic School Module Practice Test

Seat belt use is required for all vehicle occupants in most states, and children must be restrained in appropriate child safety seats or boosters. This combination covers both adult and child safety: adults and older children should wear a seat belt at all times, and younger children must ride in the correct restraint for their size and age (such as rear-facing or forward-facing car seats, or booster seats) until the belt fits properly or they meet the size/age guideline to transition to a regular seat belt. Wearing a seat belt dramatically reduces the risk of serious injury in a crash, and proper child restraints protect children from peak crash forces. The other statements aren’t accurate: belts aren’t required only for drivers, children do need restraints, and seat belts aren’t optional.
