For answer  A 

The road legislation provides that driving instructors are exempted from the obligation to wear the seat belt only during the practical training of the students, when they are effectively in lessons on the public roads. However, the question refers to the situation “outside the training hours”, and in this case there is no longer any legal exemption. Therefore, outside the practical training hours, driving instructors have the obligation to wear the seat belt, like any other driver of the motor vehicle. 

For answer  B 

The drivers of motor vehicles and agricultural or forestry tractors and the persons who occupy places provided by construction with approved seat belts or safety devices must wear them during driving on the public roads, regardless if they occupy the front or the rear seats of the motor vehicle and regardless if they drive in the urban area or outside the built-up area.

The drivers of motor vehicles having places provided by construction with seat belts must inform the passengers about the legal obligation to wear them during driving on the public roads.

However, the road legislation provides certain exemptions from the obligation to wear the seat belt, among the exemptions are also women in a visible state of pregnancy, these being exempted from this obligation.

For answer  C 

The road legislation DOES NOT provide an exemption from the obligation to wear the seat belt for children under 12 years old. In the case of transporting children in motor vehicles, the road legislation is very strict, for them there are special obligations that must be well understood.

For more information regarding the rules that must be respected when transporting children access the Audio-Video lesson “Chapter 8 part 7 - Obligations and prohibitions regarding the transport of children” from step 1 on Școala Rutieră.
