Vehicle Safety, Documents & TowingStandalone practice
An adult sits in the rear seat of a car originally equipped with compliant seat belts. No exception applies. Must the adult wear a belt on a public highway?
Correct answer: Yes. The rule covers rear-seat adults too.
Why
Use the seat belt in the rear seat as well as the front. Connecticut’s ordinary occupant requirement covers adults in these cars, with specified exemptions such as qualifying documented medical conditions. The separate limit on stopping a car solely for an adult rear-seat belt violation does not make belt use optional.
