Enough said.

Not true. The driver is resoponsible for teh front seat passenger
- those in the back seats are responsible for themselves.

That is complete rubbish.

It's also the law.

see http://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/Road_Tr...Law/Seat_Belts

Front seat passenger - driver's responsibility.
Rear seat (adult) passenger - passenger's responsibility.

It's different if the passenger is a child for obvious reasons.

You have just posted a link that contradicts your statement. Anyone over 14
is responsible for wearing their own seat belt. It does not matter if they
are sat in the front or back seats.
