   It's the rule in my car. I've asked a few to put the belt on and they have always complied. Nobody has argued in any way so far.

	Thanks go2grl. Now that I know what the rules are, its a bit easier to deal with those few slugs who feel they do not have to wear seatbelts. As I mentioned, wear it or don't ride. Again, thanks for taking your time to look this up go2grl.

	Would anyone be surprised that just minutes after writing that on Friday, I had to ask a slug to put her seatbelt on? Still nobody has argued.

	Wow. This morning I reminded the rider in my backseat to put her seatbelt on which she did, but she mentioned she's never had to put her seatbelt before because in VA backseat passengers don't have to wear seatbelts. I wonder where this has come from? Was this the law many years ago in VA?

	achall, My response would be: "Yes that may be the law, but you are not riding in your car."

	quote: Originally posted by achall [br]What is the State Law in VA and DC regarding wearing of seatbelts? I picked up a slug yesterday who wanted to know the answer to this when I reminded him to put on his seatbelt. I told him I didn't know, but it was a good idea anyway. His indicated since he was in the back seat he didn't think VA law required him to wear a seat belt. He eventually put it on and was not a happy camper and slammed the door when I dropped him off. I guess he didn't like being forced by the driver to wear his seatbelt. The way I feel, it's my vehicle and any passenger in it is going to wear their seatbelt regardless of what any state law says, but I guess some of our esteemed slugs feel differently. I totally agree with you. If I picked up a passenger who refused to wear his/her seatbelt. I would kindly ask them to get out and I would pick up the next person in line.
