Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Road rules

You are giving friends a lift but there are more passengers than seatbelts. What does WA law require?

The answer

  • Rear-seat passengers may share seatbelts if needed
  • Every passenger must have their own seat with a seatbelt - no sharing and no unrestrained extras Correct
  • Extra passengers are fine as long as they are adults
  • Extra passengers are allowed for short trips only

Why that's the answer

You may only carry passengers who each have a seat fitted with a seatbelt or child restraint, and passengers must not share a seat or seatbelt. The driver is legally responsible for ensuring passengers are properly restrained.
