    In my country, the driver is fined either way, and the passenger is also fined if they have a license (and thus should know better). Seems to work well enough

          It looks more like corruption and unnecessary punishments.

          But why even draw the line there? Why not multiply the fines for each person without a seatbelt? 3 People without a seatbelt when the normal fine is €50? Sure lets triple that, and then give each of those 3 people a €150 fine. You know what? Let’s multiply it by every person that has already been fined before.

          Stupid police states and their delusional “keeping you safe by taking away your money and drivers license”. What an absolute dystopian joke.

            I am the last person to defend cops, and you can easily confirm that by going through my posting history. But seatbelts? Shut the fuck up and put on your fucking seatbelt.

                Fine the driver for driving and fine the passenger for not putting on a seatbelt.

                  Exactly. Both the driver and the passenger (particularly if the passenger also has a license) should know better; both are at fault

            Being fined for not wearing a seatbelt isn’t a police state lmfao

            Sorry buddy but your bullshit argument dies when it endangers others. Not wearing a seatbelt isn’t just a you problem when you come flying out of the front windshield. Grow up cunt.
