What must all vehicles owned and utilized by driving schools licensed by DMV be equipped with?

All vehicles owned and utilized by driving schools licensed by the DMV must be equipped with a seatbelt for the driver and each passenger. This requirement is rooted in safety regulations that ensure all occupants in a vehicle are secured while driving, promoting responsible driving behavior and reducing the likelihood of injury during accidents. Seatbelts are a fundamental safety feature, and their inclusion in training vehicles underscores the importance of instilling safe driving habits in new drivers from the very beginning of their training.

While features like air conditioning, GPS navigation, and automatic transmission may enhance the comfort and convenience of the driving experience, they are not mandated by DMV regulations for driving school vehicles. Therefore, the requirement for seatbelts reflects a commitment to the health and safety of all individuals in the training process.
