How much is a seatbelt ticket in Alabama?

Are seatbelt tickets in Alabama expensive? I sometimes look back to see that my son has unbuckled his seatbelt and I’m paranoid that I’ll get slapped with a random expense that I can’t afford.

In some states, seatbelt tickets do differ in cost depending on the age of the passenger. In
Alabama
, however, the ticket will cost you $25 for anyone who is not properly restrained.
Alabama uses primary enforcement tactics for its
seatbelt laws
. This means that if an officer notices that you’re not wearing a seatbelt, you can get pulled over even if you weren’t committing any other traffic infractions.
If you do get a seatbelt ticket, you might also end up having to pay more on your insurance. Check out the
