What would you do
« on: April 02, 2019, 08:03:27 am »
If you agreed to give somebody a ride and they refused to wear a seat belt?  Constantly just took it off driving down the road?

I would not worry about it. At least in Oregon, if they are of age they pay any ticket issued to them for seat belt violations.

I think both parties have to pay here.

Oregon has always been ahead of the crowd.

I would tell them either they put it on or get out, catch a ride from someone else.

I would let them know that wearing a seatbelt is the rule in my car because I feel responsible for the safety of people riding in my car.  I would let them know it's that simple, either abide by my rules or you don't ride.  Sorry!

I would tell them that either I was going to stop the car so they could get out or they can't put the belt on and leave it on, either one - it's their choice.

Just as I would not allow someone to smoke in my car.

But if they are in MY car and I say you have to wear a seat belt they need to either wear a seat belt or not ask me for a ride.  If we are in an accident "I" am responsible to paying for their injuries.

Here it they are over 16 they get the ticket. It is just the fact that I asked this person repeatedly to put her seat belt on and she would just take it off.

I would tell them either they put it on or get out, catch a ride from someone else.

I won't take her any where else.

We are not talking about smoking.  Wearing a seat belt is the topic.  As for smoking - NO.  Nobody is smoking in my car at all.

NANCY- Sorry, I read your comment wrong.  I figure if it is your car you make the rules.

They would have to get out because here the driver is held responsible.  Anyone riding with me have to follow my rules and the laws of the land.

You could make her sign a waiver...   ;)

lol.  Believe me she won't be in my car again.  I was upset about several things but refusing to keep a seat belt on is too much.  I told her if a cop sees her without a belt on they will pull me over.  She seemed to think that was funny.  She would have been cited not me but it is just the principle of the thing.

I would tell them that they either put their seat belt on or they can find another ride.
