18         (5)  Failure of any migrant or seasonal farm worker to
19  use a seat belt provided by the owner of a farm labor vehicle
20  under this section does not constitute negligence per se, and
21  such failure may not be used as prima facie evidence of
22  negligence or be considered in mitigation of damages, but such
23  failure may be considered as evidence of comparative
24  negligence in a civil action.
25         (6)  Failure of any owner or operator of a farm labor
26  vehicle to require that all passengers be restrained by a
27  safety belt when the vehicle is in motion may not be
28  considered as evidence of negligence in any civil action, if
29  such vehicle is otherwise in compliance with this section.
