May a driver release the seat belt briefly while backing?
Correct answer: Yes, if needed to turn and see properly while reversing.
Why
The handbook permits briefly releasing the driver’s seat belt to turn and see properly while backing. Reverse slowly and keep checking all directions. Fasten the belt again before moving forward; this is not permission to remain unbelted for the rest of the trip.
