Question

Your little brother and his 16 year old friends would like a ride to the movies. Once in the car, little Johnny won't put on his seat belt. Who is responsible?

Answer 1

For an underage passenger who is traveling in a car without the seatbelt on, the adult who is driving the car is responsible.

Explanation:

• It is considered conventionally and by law, that if an adult is traveling to somewhere in a car with underage people, the adult is responsible for their in-vehicle safety.

• Hence, the adult has to make sure that all the safety precautions are taken care of when he is hosting underage people in the vehicle that he is driving.
