Explanation
If you are stopped by an officer while traveling with a passenger under the age of 18 who is not wearing a seat belt or properly secured in a federally approved child safety seat or booster seat, you, as the driver, will be charged with a seat belt/child restraint violation. However, if the unrestrained occupant is a front-seat passenger over 18, they will be charged with the violation instead of the driver.
