Is a seatbelt ticket a moving violation in Connecticut?
I got ticketed last week in Connecticut for not wearing my seatbelt—and now I’m freaked out that my already high insurance rate is going to go up even more. Does the seatbelt ticket count as a moving violation?

Tickets are always a bummer. Let’s see if we have some good news for you.
Under
Connecticut's seatbelt laws
, a seatbelt ticket is not a moving violation in Connecticut. It’s considered a non-moving violation.Connecticut
uses a points system for moving violations, meaning that each moving violation you acquire will add one or more points to your driving record. Too many points on your driving record can lead to a license suspension—if you only have one or two points, though, the usual consequence is just a higher car insurance rate.Luckily, since seatbelt tickets are non-moving violations in Connecticut, your recent ticket won’t go on your
driving record
. You can rest assured that your car insurance rate should stay at what it is!View full answer
