If a rear seat seatbelt ticket, the fine is , no court costs.

However, if you miss your court date, a $200 non-waivable fail to appear fee will be attached.

The good news is that no insurance or drivers license points are assessed. However, a dismissal will not only save you even more money, but maintain your clean driving record for employment purposes.

Even more important, if you are pulled over and subject and intrusive police search and seizure, you must know your rights when it comes to seatbelt ticket laws.
