When carring passengers who are aged 17 years or more the responsibility for wearing a seat-belt is...
- on the driver
- on the passengers
- on both the drivers and the passengers

My theory testing CD says "on the passengers" but I'm sure I heard something recently about it being the driver who got points for it?

Can anyone confirm ?

The answer they are looking of is "passenger" - if the passenger is caught without a seatbelt, it is they how get the penalty points (even if they don't have a licence).

However any good driver would ensure his passengers wear their seatbelts.
