How much is a seat belt ticket in Louisiana?
I’ve heard that seat belt laws and the penalties for violating them vary by state. I want to make sure I have a good grasp of the expectation in my home state. That’s why my question is, how much is the ticket fine for not wearing a seat belt in Louisiana?

Wearing a seat belt has proven to be a lifesaver in serious accidents. A seat belt ticket in
Louisiana
costs $50 for a first offense, $75 for a second offense, and $75 plus court fees for subsequent violations. Louisiana law states that you must wear your seat belt if you’re 13 years or older. Passengers younger than that may be subject to
Louisiana car seat laws
. Keep in mind that if your passenger is over the age of 18, a law enforcement officer may hand that passenger a ticket instead of the driver. Seat belt
citations
for minor passengers will be given to the driver. View full answer
