Wearing seat belts is mandatory for everyone in a moving vehicle. The rule applies to the driver and every passenger, with no exceptions, because belts dramatically reduce injuries in crashes and are enforceable by law.

The statement that all occupants must wear seat belts at all times when the vehicle is moving best captures both who must wear them (everyone) and when they must be worn (any time the vehicle is in motion, continuously while moving). It makes clear that this isn’t optional for some people or only required in certain moments.

The other ideas imply belts are optional for the driver or for all passengers, or that belts are only required while moving and not otherwise, which contradicts the universal, continuous requirement while the vehicle is in motion. For safety, keep the belt fastened properly whenever the vehicle is moving.
