§ 14 Number And Gender Rules

• •If a word is singular (like 'driver'), it can also mean multiple (like 'drivers').
• •If a word is plural (like 'cars'), it can also mean just one (like 'car').
• •This rule helps make sure laws apply fairly, whether it's one thing or many.

If a law says 'a person must wear a seatbelt in a car,' it means every person in the car must wear a seatbelt, not just one.

Even though it says 'a person' (singular), it applies to all people (plural) in the car.
