You drive a friend, age 30, who sits in the back seat and does not want to buckle up. What does Rhode Island law say?
Correct answer: You, the driver, must make sure that your friend wears a seat belt in any seat.
Why
A passenger without a belt in the back seat can be thrown forward in a crash and hit the people in front. Lap and shoulder belts used together cut the risk of death or serious injury almost in half. The fine applies for each person who is not buckled, so ask every passenger to buckle up before you move.
