I think Adam's apprentice was correct. Looking at the on-line Highway
Code, rule 99

it does state that if the front passenger is aged 14 and over, then
the passenger is responsible.

Well of course everyone who is *right* has worked this out already. ;-)

Of course being right in law doesn't make it right in a place of work or
the right kind of attitude for an apprentice. I'd tell him to walk. ;-)

Apart from the RTA, the Safety Elves might have words if there were to
be a problem, and the driver hadn't refused to move until the belt was
fastened.
