Are driving instructors required to wear a seat belt while teaching on a motorway?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
**Driving school instructors** are required to wear the **seat belt** whenever they are driving on **motorways**. This is because, although there are some exceptions for not using the seat belt, these only apply when the vehicle is within a town or city. In the case of motorways, expressways, and roads, there are no exceptions for driving school instructors, so they must wear the seat belt at all times.
Furthermore, the use of the seat belt is a measure of **passive safety** that protects all vehicle occupants in the event of an accident, reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, it is essential that driving school instructors, like any other driver or passenger, use it whenever the vehicle is in motion, especially on fast roads such as motorways.
