DGT rules in English
Occupant safety and vulnerable road users
These rules cover seat belts, child seats, helmets, and protecting vulnerable road users.
Seat belts protect every occupied seat
Everyone in the vehicle must wear a seat belt if one is fitted — not just the driver.
Watch for: The question asks who must wear a seat belt or how to wear one correctly.
Child restraints follow the child, not convenience
Children under 135 cm need a restraint that fits their size — not an adult belt, and not skipped for short trips.
Watch for: The question mentions children, height, rear seats, or child restraint systems.
Helmet questions are head-injury questions
Riders and passengers on two-wheeled vehicles must wear an approved helmet to protect against head injury.
Watch for: The question mentions helmets, motorcycles, mopeds, or cyclists.
Pedestrians require anticipation, not surprise
Expect pedestrians to step out — slow and give way before you need to react sharply.
Watch for: The question mentions crossings, pavements, children, older people, or pedestrians near the road.
Cyclists need space before, beside, and after
Only overtake a cyclist when you can leave safe space at the side and ahead — without putting them at risk.
Watch for: The question mentions cyclists, overtaking them, oncoming traffic, or narrow roads.
