Teen Driver Parent Tip #3
Everyone in the car needs to wear a seatbelt, even parents.
Teenagers are quicker to yell "hypocrite!" than a disgruntled voter at political rally, so don't give them an excuse to protest wearing a seatbelt because it's not in your routine to do so. Consider also that 49 states have mandatory safety belt laws, so unless you live in the free-wheeling state of New Hampshire, not only is your life at risk by not wearing one, but so is your driving record.
