New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road safety

Which drivers may legally drive without a seatbelt while reversing?

The answer

  • Any driver
  • Only drivers with a full, unrestricted licence Correct
  • Only learner drivers with a supervisor present
  • No driver, in any circumstances

Why that's the answer

Only full (unrestricted) licence holders are exempt while reversing. Learner, P1 and P2 drivers get no such exemption — they must wear a seatbelt at all times unless they hold a medical certificate.
