You always think that european countries have the same rules but then you soon realise that thats not the case.
In sweden all drivers must have seat belts if the vehicle itself has it.
All vehicles, except veteran vehicles and some local buses, must have seat belts.
If a bus have seat belts for passengers it is the drivers responsibility that people under the age of 15 uses them. People over 15 may get a fine if not wearing it, but the police must catch them while the bus is running (it is not illegal to not wear a seat belt on a bus that is standing still)
