Explanation
In California, the driver is responsible for ensuring that all passengers under the age of 16 are properly restrained in the vehicle. Therefore, if a passenger under the age of 16 is not wearing a seat belt, the driver can receive a citation. However, if the passenger is 16 or older, they are responsible for their own seat belt and can receive their own citation.
