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

I cant say that is the current law, but that is what that site says


Nope, last row ...

"Adult passengers (ie 14 years and over) Seat belt MUST be worn if
available. Seat belt MUST be worn if available. Passenger"

ie anyone over 14 is responsible for their own seatbelt .. The driver
is responsible for himself and any children in the car, wherever they
sit.
