[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]OP here. They got stopped in DC and the friend is probably 17, not really sure. The friend claims he wasn't aware he had to be belted in the back seat and has offered to pay the ticket but I'm furious that DS was driving with someone unrestrained, although he claims he checked before driving off and the other kid was wearing it. Why would you take off a seat belt after you've already buckled it? Doesn't make sense.

I think you are right,OP, to be angry both at DS and at the passenger, but your least concern is who should pay the bill.  Both exposed your family to legal  liabilty that could destroy your family.  Hasn't your son heard of stories or met quadriplegics who were thrown through front car windows because they weren't belted?  This just happened at Washington & Lee two years ago - the girl died and the driver's life (he was drunk) has been ruined.  Please show your son this story.  http://www.wdbj7.com/news/local/washington-and-lee-university-student-killed-in-earlymorning-wreck/23259108.  We don't let our teens drive other teens and we don't let our teens be driven by other teens because teenage drivers just don't have the experience to drive safely in this highly congested area.  I don't need a death or lawsuit crippling our family and so far, knock on keyboard, it has never happened to us.[/quote]
