Is a seatbelt ticket a moving violation in Missouri?
I’m wondering if driving without a seatbelt would be considered a moving violation while driving in Missouri. Do you have an answer?

Although Missouri seat belt laws require drivers and passengers to fasten their seat belts, a seatbelt ticket is not considered a moving violation.
In Missouri, every passenger riding in the front seats of a car is required to wear a seat belt. Passengers between the ages of 8 and 15 are required to wear a seat belt when seated in the backseats. Passengers younger than 8 years old must be properly secured and also adhere to
Missouri’s car seat laws
.Although Missouri considers a seatbelt violation a non-moving violation, you can still be pulled over and ticketed. Your first seatbelt violation in Missouri will cost you $10 along with court costs.
Some other violations in Missouri which are not considered moving violations include:
- Parking violations
- Improper display of license plates
- Littering
Since nonmoving violations don’t lead to driver violation points, a rise in your car insurance costs is unlikely. That said, you should always wear a seatbelt to keep yourself safe and avoid a ticket.
