Is a seatbelt ticket a point in California?
I just got ticketed last week for driving without my seat belt on. Will the ticket add a point to my driving record?
Olivia Rose · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
According to
California seat belt laws
, a seat belt ticket is considered a nonmoving violation and therefore will not add any points to your driving record in California
.However, you can expect the ticket for not buckling your seat belt to cost you $162. If a child under the age of 16 is unbuckled, the cost jumps to $490.
Fastening your seat belt won’t just save you money, but it could also save your life, so it’s important to buckle up no matter where you’re headed.
