A free practice question for the Florida permit test, with the answer explained.
Independent practice site. We're not the DMV and aren't connected to any government agency.
Your passenger isn't wearing a seat belt. When do you, the driver, get the ticket?
The rule
Florida requires seat belts for the driver, every front-seat passenger and every passenger under 18. The driver is charged if a passenger under 18 isn't buckled; passengers 18 or older are charged themselves.
The driver is charged when a passenger under 18 isn't properly buckled. Passengers 18 and older get their own ticket.
From the Official Florida Driver License Handbook, page 28. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
