Driver is responsible. At least in Europe.
Added; (in the US) Unless the paraphernalia is actually found on one of the occupants, if all passengers in the interior opf the car could have conceivably reached it, all can be charged with "Concurrent Possession." (e.g.: If the paraphernalia was in the glove compartment, and the back seat passenger could not have had ready access to it, only the two front seat occupants would be charged, the back seat passenger would not be charged.)

Can you get charged with possession if you are riding in the vehicle with someone who has meth on them?
The answer is yes, for a couple of reasons. When the vehicle gets pulled over, the person may toss the drugs on the floor. If he doesn't admit doing that, everyone in the vehicle can be charged with the drugs. If you know that the meth is in the vehicle and you get pulled over and either you or the other people in the vehicle admit that you knew it was there, you can be charged with possession. If the meth user keeps the meth on him and does not implicate anyone else, and no one else admits to knowing about it, then the other passengers should not encounter legal problems.

The 'burden of proof' is on the police to prove you, and the firearm are linked.Added: "Charged" and "arrested" are two entirely different matters.You can be arrested because the officer has PC (probable cause) to believe that the firearm just didn't sprout up from the ground alongside your vehicle. However - unless he witnessed you throw or drop it from the car, some link to the occupants of the vehicle will have to be made before the prosecutor can charge you with the offense.
