Which statement best describes Michigan's seat belt requirement?

• A. All occupants must wear seat belts; children must be properly restrained in appropriate car seats or boosters.
• B. Only drivers must wear seat belts.
• C. Seat belts are optional in daylight driving.
• D. Front-seat occupants only must wear belts.

Answer: (A)

In Michigan, the rule is that everyone in a moving vehicle must wear a seat belt, and children must be properly restrained in an appropriate car seat or booster based on their age and size. This means both the driver and all passengers, including those in the back seat, need to buckle up. For young children, the law requires using a child safety seat or booster until the belt fits them properly, which depends on their age, height, and weight. The other statements don’t fit because they either limit the requirement to the driver, claim seat belts are optional, or apply only to front-seat occupants. This combination of universal belt use and proper child restraints is what the Michigan rule emphasizes.
