If any mobile machine has seat belts required by law, the driver and subsequent passengers should ensure they use the belts each time the vehicle is in motion or engaged in operation in view of the fact that this could cause the machinery to become unbalanced and thus, unsafe.

The restraint device or system may comprise a seat belt, even if a seat belt is not essentially a part of such machine or system.
