The very short trip

The destination is only two streets away and the car is ready to move. What do you do?

Choose one answerFasten the correct restraint before the car movesBuckle up after the first cornerHold the belt across your lap without fastening it

Read all explanations

Fasten the correct restraint before the car moves: Exactly. Journey length does not change the need to be correctly restrained.

Buckle up after the first corner: The car should not begin moving while you are unrestrained. Be ready first.

Hold the belt across your lap without fastening it: Holding a belt is not using the restraint as intended. Fasten it correctly.

The uncertain fit

The belt or child restraint does not seem to fit as it normally does. What is the safer response?

Choose one answerTell a responsible adult and have the correct setup checked before movingIgnore it because it worked last timeThread the belt in a new way that feels comfortable

Read all explanations

Tell a responsible adult and have the correct setup checked before moving: Good decision. Do not guess or improvise with safety equipment.

Ignore it because it worked last time: A changed or uncertain fit needs checking before the journey starts.

Thread the belt in a new way that feels comfortable: Use restraints only as their manufacturers intend. Ask a responsible adult to check.

Choosing a seat

You are offered a different seat because it has a better view, but you are unsure whether local age, height and restraint rules allow it. What should happen?

Choose one answerA responsible adult checks the local rules and confirms the correct seat and restraintChoose whichever seat has the best viewCopy the seat a friend normally uses

Read all explanations

A responsible adult checks the local rules and confirms the correct seat and restraint: Right. Seat and restraint requirements differ, so use the setup that applies to you—not the best view.

Choose whichever seat has the best view: The view is not the deciding factor. The applicable rules and correct restraint come first.

Copy the seat a friend normally uses: Another person's setup may not match your age, size or local rules.

Look at this!

You want the driver to look at something funny on your screen while the car is moving. What is the safer plan?

Choose one answerKeep the screen away and show it after the car is safely stoppedHold it beside the driver's faceKeep asking until the driver glances over

Read all explanations

Keep the screen away and show it after the car is safely stopped: Exactly. Let the driver keep eyes and attention on driving.

Hold it beside the driver's face: That competes with the road for the driver's attention. Wait until stopped.

Keep asking until the driver glances over: Repeated requests can also distract. Save it for a safe stop.

The door and the cycle lane

The car has stopped beside a cycle lane. What should happen before you open a door?

Choose one answerAsk which side is safe, look all around and over your shoulder, then open only when clearOpen quickly before a cyclist gets closeOpen as soon as you cannot see anything in one mirror

Read all explanations

Ask which side is safe, look all around and over your shoulder, then open only when clear: Strong awareness. The kerb-side door may be safer when available, but every door still needs a check.

Open quickly before a cyclist gets close: Do not race approaching traffic. Keep the door closed and wait for a clear, confirmed moment.

Open as soon as you cannot see anything in one mirror: One mirror can miss people beside the car. Check all around and over your shoulder, and use the safer side when confirmed.
