Explanation

- **Use of the seat belt**: All passengers must use the seat belt on any type of road or street. The exceptions are very specific and do not apply to common passengers.

- **Correct positioning of the belt**: The belt must be well adjusted to the body. The **chest strap** should pass over the collarbone and the center of the chest, while the **lap strap** should be over the hip bones. This ensures that the belt functions correctly and minimizes the risk of injury.
