Western Australia · Road Rules Theory Test practice question

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

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

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Correct answer: Every passenger must have their own seat with a seatbelt - no sharing and no unrestrained extras

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.
