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 think both parties have to pay here.
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 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 would tell them either they put it on or get out, catch a ride from someone else.

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.
