Both the SLP permit holder and the supervisor in the vehicle must wear seat belts during a driving test or session, as mandated by law to ensure safety and reduce the societal burden of caring for those injured due to accidents.
According to the SLP and Examination Permit restrictions, both the permit holder, which is the test taker, and the supervisor, whether the examiner or the driving instructor, must wear seat belts during a driving test or any driving session. The law is designed to protect all individuals within a vehicle, as well as the wider society, by reducing potential injuries from accidents and the subsequent strain on societal resources for caring for those who are injured.
This requirement underscores the importance of safety measures and the role of government in enacting laws to safeguard the well-being of its citizens, which is critical in ensuring that those on the road are not a burden to society due to avoidable injuries.
