Vehicle Safety, Documents & TowingStandalone practice
You drive on a South Carolina highway. Your adult passenger in the back seat does not wear a seat belt, and an officer can see this clearly. You have broken no other traffic law. What is true?
Correct answer: The officer may stop you for the belt violation alone, because the belt law is primary
Why
Belts greatly reduce your chance of injury or death in a crash, keep you from being thrown from the vehicle, and help the driver stay in control. Wear the shoulder belt across your shoulder and chest, never under your arm or behind your back, and fit the lap belt snug and low across your hips. Air bags work best together with belts, so wear your belt even in a car with air bags.
