Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Permissible if the child is at least 135 cm tall and it is impossible to provide the child with a safety seat because of its height and weight.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a child on the rear seat of a passenger car restrained by seat belts alone. This is allowed if the child is at least 135 cm tall and a child seat cannot be provided because of the child's height and weight - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act allows a child who is at least 135 cm tall to be carried on the rear seat of a vehicle of category M1, N1, N2 or N3, restrained by seat belts, when it is not possible to provide a child seat or another restraint device because of the child's weight and height. So it is not absolutely prohibited (answer B). The limit is 135 cm, not 125 cm (answer C). A stricter rule applies on the front seat: a child under 150 cm may travel only in a child seat or another restraint device. The seat belt should run across the collarbone and the hips, not across the neck and the stomach.
