How Much Is a Seatbelt Ticket in NY?
In New York, the penalties for a “no seat belt” ticket vary depending on the age of the person who was not wearing their seat belt. Specific laws regarding seat belt violations are found in N.Y. VTL §1229-c.
Child Restraint Violations
Child restraint violations will result in up to a $100 fine and 3 points added to your driving record for a first offense.
These violations are as follows:
- Not using a child restraint (i.e. car seat) for a child age four or under
- Using an adult restraint (instead of an appropriate car seat or booster seat) for a child age 7 or younger
- Anyone under the age of 16 riding without a seat belt
