Anyone above the age of 10 can sit in the front sit, but 14 and over if the front seat is fitted with an airbag. also, only the oldest can sit in the front seat, unless all are above the age of 16.
I think it goes by age. If your 16 and older you don't have to, but all younger have to. Front seat driver and passengers all have to wear a seat belt
Age does not matter since the law says all passengers must wear seatbelts.
It depends on what state your in but I believe that the no seatbelt law is nationwide in which case you will get a ticket if in the front seat of a car and are not wearing a seatbealt if your over the age set by the law. In the UK it is always an offence.
In states with seatbelt laws, there is no age at which you can ride in the vehicle without wearing a seatbelt, front or back. All passengers are required to be buckled up. But in some states ,like Michigan, the age to not wear a seat belt is 16 and only in the back seat
It depends on the state. New York State law requires all front seat passengers to wear seat belts. Children under the age of 16 must wear seat belts when they are in the front seat or the back seat. Children under the age of four must ride in safety seats. Children age four, five or six must ride in child restraint systems. The penalty for a seat belt or car seat violation is a fine of up $50. If a conviction includes a person under the age of 16, the driver receives a maximum fine of $100 and 3 points on the driver license record.
