Show answer

Correct answer

  • BEl pasajero.The passenger.

If the passenger is an adult, the offence of not wearing a seat belt is theirs and the fine goes to them, not to the driver or the insurance policyholder. The driver is responsible, however, when the person travelling without a seat belt or restraint system is a minor.
