Use of vehiclesQuestion #16495
May a vehicle take part in traffic if its design provides for seat belts but the belts are missing?
Explanation
No. If a vehicle's design includes seat belt anchor points, it must also have the belts themselves to be on the road. This is a requirement for the vehicle, not just the driver's personal duty to wear them — without the belts it cannot take part in traffic.
KET reference: KET 232: every vehicle taking part in traffic whose design provides for seat belts (it has the anchor points) must be fitted with seat belts.
