Where I live, the driver gets the ticket if the passenger has no seatbelt. The car doesn’t move unless everyone is buckled in, because I’m not paying for someone else’s laziness.
And for good reason. A single unbelted person in the car is a serious threat to everyone else in an accident. You could end up paying for it with your life if you let it slide. I think the statistic is something like a 20% increased risk of death in an accident when a single passenger is unbuckled.
And I hate that “aren’t you a good driver” idiocy. Sure, but aren’t all those other drivers on the road the worst?

Yeah here I’m pretty sure it’s the driver gets a fine and the passenger too if they’re over 16yo
Okay yeah I looked it up its the same here. Both passenger and driver if the passenger is over 16.
