This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah here I'm pretty sure it's the driver gets a fine and the passenger too if they're over 16yo
Okay yeah I looked it up its the same here. Both passenger and driver if the passenger is over 16.
I'm surprised they don't enforce it for passengers 16 and under. Seatbelts are important for them too.
The driver still has to pay for it, which is usually going to be your parents, who would probably be footing the bill anyways if you're that young.
I misread it and thought that the driver got a citation for any adult passengers that weren't buckled in but not minor passengers. The adult passengers getting their own citations while the driver getting the citations for unbuckled minors makes a lot more sense.
Actually it sounds like the driver gets the citation either way. If the passenger is a minor, that's it, but adult passengers get cited in addition to their drivers.
The other guy summed it up, but I'd like to add that children can't be held to the same standards as adults. Still developing brains and all that jazz, which is why it becomes the adults responsibility.
