• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not
go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If someone
unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and consistent from
the start will mean fewer discipline problems as children get
older. An unrestrained person can be thrown into and injure
other passengers.
