Explanation
Both the driver and all passengers must wear seat belts when riding in a motor vehicle - it’s the law. If a passenger under 16 is not wearing a seat belt or is not properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat, the driver is responsible and may be cited for the violation. However, a passenger 16 or older who fails to buckle up can be ticketed and fined.
