  In my country the driver is liable for passengers not wearing their seatbelt. The fine is around €60 per passenger. Most people just pay this back to the driver, but if somebody decides not to, the driver can’t do anything about that.

    In my country, the driver is fined either way, and the passenger is also fined if they have a license (and thus should know better). Seems to work well enough

    Other than just not drive. Which is a very valid choice.

      If your country has decent public transit ofcourse.

        Even then. Dude who refuses can either buckle up, or walk. You don’t buckle, we all don’t get there. See how you get treating your “friends” like that.

    in my country the passenger is responsible for their own seatbelt if they are over 15. for passengers under 15 it’s their parent. if the parent is not present, only then it’s the driver.

    I honestly don’t know who’s liable in my country because it’s a situation I will not accept to happen. If I’m driving, everyone is buckled or the car doesn’t move. I don’t do it because of the law, I do it because I refuse to have that guilt on my conscience if there is an accident.
