You drive with a 25-year-old friend in the front seat and a 30-year-old friend in the back seat. Who must wear a seat belt under Virginia law?
Correct answer: You and both adult passengers, in the front and back seats
Why
Seat belts can double your chance of surviving a crash. An unbelted person in the back seat can be thrown forward and injure the people in front. Wear the lap belt low across your hips and upper thighs and the shoulder belt across your chest; never put the shoulder belt behind you or under your arm.
