How much is a no seatbelt ticket in Mississippi?

That means that no-seatbelt citations can have an effect on your car insurance as it makes you a high-risk driver to insurance companies.Not only could you be forced to pay $25 for every unbelted passenger in your car, but it may also lead to higher
