If the passenger is a minor or child the ticket goes to the driver but if your passenger is an adult the passenger is issued the ticket. I speak from experience, a few years ago while driving down Interstate 57 my wife and I were pulled over by an Illinois State Trooper. It was around Thanksgiving and they were out in force issuing seat belt tickets. I was given a ticket and so was my wife (Happy Holidays huh?). Her ticket as the passenger was written in her name. 55 dollars a piece! In a state that doesn't require motorcyclists to wear a helmet....don't get me started. We learned our lesson.... Buckle Up, It's the Law :) I agree with the above poster. I know for those that aren't use to seat belt laws they feel it's a nuisance, but in Canada we have been wearing seat belts for years and it's like breathing now. Without seat belts most of us feel naked. In 1994 I was a passenger in a head on collision and trust me, if I hadn't had my seat belt on I would have gone through the windshield! I'm for seat belts law or not!
