You drive your 17-year-old cousin and your 12-year-old sister to school. Both ride in the back seat. What does New York's seat belt law require?
Correct answer: You and both passengers must buckle up, and you must make sure your sister does.
Why
In a crash, a person who is not belted is thrown around inside the car and can injure the others in it. New York is a primary-enforcement state, so the police can stop a car just because someone in it is not belted. When a seat has both a lap belt and a shoulder belt, the rider must use both.
