Are drivers not responsible for adult passengers who choose not to wear a seatbelt?

Yes, they are not responsible
No, they are responsible
Only for passengers in the front seat
Only if the driver is under 21

The correct answer is: No, they are responsible

Drivers are responsible for ensuring the safety of all passengers in their vehicle, which includes encouraging them to wear seatbelts. While adults are legally required to wear seatbelts themselves, the driver has a duty to promote safe practices. This responsibility encompasses all adult passengers, irrespective of their seating position within the vehicle or their age. By understanding this, the driver can contribute to minimizing injury risks in the event of a crash. It reinforces the importance of collective safety in a vehicle, where the driver must set an example and reinforce seatbelt use among all occupants. This approach aligns with the defensive driving philosophy of anticipating hazards and ensuring a safe environment for everyone in the vehicle.
