A driver shall not be charged for a seat belt violation committed by a passenger who is 14 years old or older, unless the passenger is unable to properly fasten the seat belt due to a temporary or permanent disability. In those incidents the passenger who fails to wear a seat belt shall be issued the ticket. However, a young driver operating on a restricted driver’s license that has more passengers in the vehicle than number of seat belts shall be issued the ticket.
