Inertia
They are known as 'secondary' injuries to the original collision because they occur AFTER the occupant suffers the impact of the initial collision and occurs when the passenger is thrown around either inside the vehicle or ejected from it. The three collisions that happen when a car crashes is: 1. the car with the object 2. your body with the car 3. your internal organs with your skeleton.

The passenger would move forward, and either hit the seat or the windshield due to the inertia of the passenger (tendency to not change motion).
There are 3 collisions that occur when a vehicle hits a solid object; the initial impact, the passenger impact on restraints or parts of the vehicle, passengers suffering internal collisions with organs
A dead body being transported as cargo does not count as an occupant. HOV lanes requires two or more occupants (presumably, living occupants) in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
Driver is responsible. At least in Europe.Added; (in the US) Unless the paraphernalia is actually found on one of the occupants, if all passengers in the interior opf the car could have conceivably reached it, all can be charged with "Concurrent Possession." (e.g.: If the paraphernalia was in the glove compartment, and the back seat passenger could not have had ready access to it, only the two front seat occupants would be charged, the back seat passenger would not be charged.)
If the officer can articulate a reasonable suspicion that supported a vehicle search of the vehicle and occupants then it was valid and legal. Your evaluation of un-suspicious passenger bahavior may be entirely different than that of the officers.
