What should a driving-test candidate do if their inertia-reel seat belt has temporarily locked and they cannot put it on at the start of their test?
Exemptions are provided in the regulations. If an inertia-reel seat belt has temporarily locked because the vehicle is parked on a gradient, the driver may move the vehicle. As soon as the mechanism has unlocked and released itself, the driver should stop and apply the belt.
