Answer: C — All drivers and passengers must wear seat belts

In Iowa, the law mandates that all drivers and passengers in a vehicle must wear seat belts. This requirement is in place to enhance safety on the road, as wearing a seat belt significantly reduces the risk of injury or fatality in the event of a crash. By requiring everyone in the vehicle to be buckled up, the law aims to protect all occupants, not just the driver or those in the front seat. This comprehensive approach to seat belt usage reflects the understanding that safety measures should apply to everyone in a vehicle, promoting responsible behavior and ensuring maximum protection for all passengers.
