Question: 1 / 50

If a law enforcement officer stops a vehicle and a front seat passenger under 18 is not wearing a safety belt, who will be charged with the seatbelt violation?

Driver

The correct answer is that the driver will be charged with the seatbelt violation. In Florida, the law holds drivers responsible for ensuring that all passengers under the age of 18 wear their seatbelts. If a front seat passenger who is under 18 is not wearing a safety belt, the driver can receive a citation for this violation, as it is considered part of their duty to ensure the safety of their passengers. This rule is aimed at promoting the safety of younger passengers, as they are expected to be properly secured during a vehicle operation. The law reinforces the driver’s responsibility for compliance with safety regulations, especially for those who may not be fully aware of or capable of following such rules on their own.
