Practice question · Safety and the law

Who must wear a seat belt or ride in a child safety seat in a Maryland car?

The rule

By law the driver and every passenger must wear a seat belt or ride in a child safety seat. A provisional driver must always belt up, and so must all their passengers.

By law, the driver and every passenger must wear a safety belt, or ride buckled in a child safety seat.

From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 10, page 52. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
