1. When is wearing a seat belt required?

The wearing of seat belts only applies to all front designate seating spaces, and to those other designated seating spaces where there is a three point (shoulder harness) system. Two point (lap belt) systems in rear are voluntary, except for children under the age of eight.

2. What is the forfeiture?

Ten ($10) dollars for driver and adult passengers. Adult includes everyone from age eight and older. A citation for anyone under age 16 is given to the driver of the vehicle.

3. Do you have to wear a seat belt in the back seat of a vehicle?

Yes, if the vehicle is equipped with a three point (shoulder harness) system, or if the passenger is under eight-years of age. Under age four must have a child safety seat. No child under the age of 16 can ride in the open cargo area of light trucks without a safety belt or restraint.
