If the person not wearing the seatbelt is over the age of 16, the find is $50 plus court costs.
If the person not wearing a seatbelt is under the age of 16, the fine can range from $25 to $100, and the violation will add 3 points to New York driving record of the person driving the car.
I didnt pay mine for a year (thats after I went to court).. Then I called and checked .. it went up $25 from a $100 fine. Also my licence/right to operate in New York was suspended until I paid it.. Bottom line.. $25 fine and suspension of your licence.
Death.
You are a horrible parent.
I think you get a fine.
I pleaded guilty to a ticket for driver failure to wear seat belt in Amherst, NY, and the penalty fine was $135! I called the town court to inquire about this exorbitant amount and the desk clerk claimed that's the starting penalty. There's absolutely no use pleading not guilty whether you were wearing the seat belt or not. It's your word against the police officer's and don't bank on him/her not showing up to court--any town that has nothing better to do than enforce seat belt laws will have more than enough free time to send their cops to petty trials. Ugh. Very frustrating. I still say these laws are unconstitutional.

I requested a online quote from Geico with a cost of $300 for a 6 month term in NY were i did not state i had 3 seat belt tickets within the last three years. At the final payment screen they increased it to $590 because of the 3 seat belt tickets they found from a motor vehicle report check. So yes!
On the nysdmv website it says - "The penalty for a seat belt or car seat violation is a fine of up $50. If a conviction includes a person under the age of 16, the driver receives a maximum fine of $100 and 3 points on the driver license record."*** WARNING: The DMV website is misleading. As of 9/2009, the base ticket may be $50 but town surcharges are added to it. A ticket can easily cost $50 + $85 "surcharge". This is for adults over 16.I have no idea what the surcharge is if a person under 16 is in your car not wearing a seatbelt... It could be ghastly expensive since the base there is $100 rather than $50.Wear your seatbelts and ensure everyone in your car has them on because the cops are serious about giving easy tickets. I just got my first and last ticket for not wearing a seatbelt (and it's really not contestable) don't make the same mistake!The fines are all brought to you by the insurance lobbyists. Saving and protecting your life means saving them money.
No, it is not.
NO
(I think)
Whether or not insurance rates are affected by seat belt violations depends on several factors. Moving violations can cause danger to people and property and are usually the ones that will change an insurance rate. the qualifications for a charge are the ticket has to hit the motor vehicle record. The state the violation occurred in must permit insurance companies in the state to charge for the violation. The insurance company has to consider the violation a risk.

I received a speeding ticket that I talked the trooper down to writing me for a seatbelt violation. My insurance did not go up as a result of this ticket. (I live in New York).
No, Its a fine.
