Q: You're teaching a pupil to reverse into a side road. What's the law governing your use of the seat belt?
        
        
            
                Explanation
            
            
                An instructor must normally wear a seat belt during all practical training when there's one fitted to the vehicle, unless they're exempt. However, when a pupil is carrying out a manoeuvre that involves reversing, instructors may release the belt during the exercise; this gives them a little more freedom to teach the exercise safely.
