Question

What is fine for not wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat in the state of NY...anyone ever got?

Answer 1

The NYS DMV states that 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.

The average fine amount likely differs from one NY jurisdiction to the next depending upon what the local courts have decided to have drivers pay, $50 or less, plus any administrative and court fees.

If you have received a ticket as a driver that was not wearing the seat belt / safety belt call the court listed on the ticket to find out your exact fine amount.
