Questions Learners Have About Seatbelts & Airbags

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Seatbelts & Airbags, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Is it always mandatory to wear a seatbelt in the Netherlands?

Yes, wearing a seatbelt is always mandatory for all drivers and passengers in passenger cars, company cars, three-wheeled motor vehicles with closed bodywork, and brommobielen in the Netherlands. This includes pregnant women.

How should a seatbelt be worn correctly?

The hip belt must run tightly across your hips and well under the abdomen for pregnant women. The shoulder part should cross obliquely across your chest and shoulder, positioned between your neck and shoulder. Avoid running it behind your back or under your armpit.

When should I disable the front passenger airbag?

You must disable the front passenger airbag when a child seat is placed on the front passenger seat facing opposite the direction of travel (rear-facing). This is mandatory to prevent severe injury to the child from airbag deployment.

How should I adjust the headrest for safety?

The top of the headrest should be aligned with the top of your head. This proper adjustment significantly reduces the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.

What are the risks of not wearing a seatbelt with an airbag?

If you are not wearing a seatbelt, airbags can actually cause additional and severe injury during a collision. Seatbelts restrain you, allowing the airbag to cushion you effectively. Without a belt, you could be launched towards the deploying airbag.
