Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
In an ordinary seat-belt-equipped Illinois passenger car, who must wear a safety belt unless a legal exception applies?
Correct answer: The driver and all passengers age 8 or older, front and rear.
Why
The driver and all passengers age 8 or older must wear a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt, in front and rear seats. Children under 8 need an appropriate child restraint. Airbags do not replace belts. Specific exceptions exist, such as an appropriate medical exemption; the driver must secure passengers who cannot fasten their own belt because of age, illness, or infirmity.
