问题     More than 30 000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
    Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to ￡50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
    However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collecting using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.
It is the driver’s responsibility to______.
选项 A、make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt
B、make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt
C、stop children riding in the front seat
D、wear a seat belt each time he drives
答案B
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问在系安全带方面驾驶员的责任是什么。根据文章第二段内容：就大多数汽车而言，驾驶员和14岁以上的前排乘客必须系上安全带，否则将受到50英镑以下的罚款。驾驶员并非对所有的前排乘客是否系上安全带负有责任。但是，驾驶员有责任让坐在前排年龄在14岁以下的乘客系上某种安全带，否则不得坐在前排。由此可以看出，A、C、D三个选项都与文章内容不符，不是正确答案。只有B项所说的内容与文章内容一致，是正确答案。
