Alberta Class 7 Practice

Fasten your seat belt Fasten your seat belt and shoulder strap correctly. Seat belts save lives and reduce injuries, and provide the greatest protection when worn properly. The law requires you to wear your seat belt. • Wear the lap belt low and snug over your hips. The shoulder belt must fit over your chest and shoulder. • Do not tuck the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm. • You are still required to wear your seat belt when in a vehicle with air bags. Seat belt use is required by law When you are ready to go, do the following: • Check to be sure your intended path of travel is clear. • Check your inside and outside rear view mirrors. • Do a shoulder check to be sure your blind spots are clear. If you are moving away from the right side of the road, use your left turn signal to indicate that you are entering traffic. If you are on the left side of a one-way road, use your right turn signal. In this situation, it can be difficult to see traffic clearly from the driver’s seat.
