The passenger should remain silent, unless questioned directly by the officer. And then he should limit what he says to the issue at hand and not tell your or even his driving history. They can look that up on their own if they feel the need to. Better to not say any more than necessary.  Since you were pulled over, you were going to get at ticket anyway.

I have only been stopped twice without a ticket.  The first time the cop was profileling. My car did not have any heat and I was wearing a heavy hooded jacket and a blanket.  He thought I was a male gang banger.  To his suprise, and it was very evident on his face, I was a female on my way to work in the very early am hours.  This was in the middle of the winter. He said that he watched my tail light go out.

The second time was my fault I was speeding to work. When I was pulled over. He cought me going 65 in a 55.  My only excuse was that I was late getting to work.  The only reason I did not get a ticket was because he was called away for something much more important.

I would suggest that you not allow your brother in your car until he understands your rules.  Your car, your rules.  Right or wrong.  Same as eating or not eating in your car. There are people not allowed in or near my car because they do not understand the rules or refuse to obey them.
