Question

What is the law on wearing seatbelts in cars in England?

Answer 1

According to this I would assume that you need them.

Last year, tens of thousands of good vehicles drivers across Scotland were charged with not wearing belts.

Answer 2

icewitch54 is right

there are few more exceptions though - drivers and passangers of classic cars (originally manufactured without safety belts). It wouldn't be the best solution to try fitting them into a Rolls Royce 10hp:-)

In some European countries you don't have to wear a seatbelt when reversing - not sure about England, though.

Answer 3

Seatbelts must be worn by driver and all passengers. Child seats and/or booster seats should be used for children not big enough to use the seatbelts otherwise. There are some exceptions e.g. taxi drivers.
