What must be communicated to passengers before driving?

Communicating safety procedures and the importance of seat belts to passengers before driving is crucial for ensuring their safety during the trip. Informing passengers about safety measures helps create a culture of awareness and responsibility. Seat belts are one of the simplest yet most effective means of protection in the event of an accident. By emphasizing the importance of using seat belts, the driver plays a key role in reducing the risk of injury. This focus on safety fosters a sense of security and encourages passengers to comply with safety regulations throughout the journey.

While discussing the destination and estimated arrival time is helpful for passenger awareness and planning, it does not directly address their immediate safety. Similarly, rules for mobile device usage and updates on weather conditions can contribute to a safe trip but may not be as foundational as ensuring that all passengers are secured with seat belts from the outset. Therefore, prioritizing safety procedures and seat belt use is fundamental in any driving situation.
