Seat Belt and Child Restraint Violations

Seat belt and child restraint violations occur when a driver or passenger fails to wear a seat belt or when a child is not properly secured in an appropriate child safety seat according to legal requirements. These laws are designed to enhance safety by reducing the risk of injury during accidents. Violating these laws can lead to traffic citations, fines, and increased insurance rates. The specific requirements may vary by state, often including age, weight, and height guidelines for child restraints, which are put in place to protect the most vulnerable passengers on the road.
