How are seat belts evaluated in a Class D inspection?

Seat belts are evaluated based on their functionality and proper attachment during a Class D inspection. This means inspectors ensure that the seat belts can be securely fastened and unfastened without difficulty, and that they provide adequate restraint in the event of a collision. Inspectors will check for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear that could compromise the safety provided by the seat belts. Proper attachment is also critical; the belts must be securely anchored to the vehicle's structure to ensure they function effectively when needed. The focus is on safety and compliance with regulations, rather than aspects like aesthetic appearance, comfort, or color uniformity.
