Question
I was pulled over by a Police Officer because he said my passenger wasn't wearing a seatbelt. She was it was just under her arm,because she is small it digs into her neck if she wears it normal. So he gave my 14 year old passenger a ticket. Is it even legal to give a 14 year old a seatbelt ticket?
Yes they can charge anyone under the HTA
I suggest you get advice from a lawyer on how to proceed.
As set out in my profile I only deal with Ontario.
As well I fail to see why you are upset with my answer, it is clear from the info that You provided there was cause for a ticket to be issued. There is no excuse unless by way of a Written medical issue not to wear the belts properly.
When all is said your passenger should have been wearing a seatbelt, no matter what the age. this is not new all Canadians know the Seatbelt laws.

| Comment | I don't get it. Can you fine a 8 year old for not wearing his seatbelt $200? Whatever happened to the law that the driver is responsible for everyone in the vehicle under the age of 16? | ||
