I have a bad habit of forgetting to put my seatbelt on, but I thought knowing the fine might motivate me to click it. How much will a seatbelt ticket cost me in South Carolina?

A seatbelt ticket in South Carolina will set you back $25. However,
seat belt laws in South Carolina
don’t consider this a moving violation, so it will not show up on your permanent record or add demerit points to your license.
Try a few of these tips to remember to put your seatbelt on if the fear of a fine isn’t enough:
  • Leave yourself a note on the dashboard.
  • Listen for the dings or other noises that your car makes reminding you to put on your seat belt.
  • Set a reminder on your phone before calendar events that require your car.
  • Make a list of things you can buy with $25 instead of paying a fine.
