Question 7585

One of the passengers in the passenger car you're driving isn't wearing a seat belt. If a law enforcement officer cites the violation, who is responsible?

  1. The passenger.
  2. The insurance policyholder.
  3. The driver.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The passenger.

The passenger. The person who commits a violation is responsible for it, and an adult passenger who does not buckle up commits the violation themselves. If it is a child who must use a child restraint system and is not using one, the driver is responsible.
