Re: seat belt tickets
in washington its 101$, and they can pull you over just for that, i went to court just yesterday for no seat belt and two deffect exhaust tickets. all different times all going to work, i work nights so i get pulled over in the mix of them trying to find drunk drivers, i was able to get out of all three tickets contesting it. saved myself 400$ well worth it just because some ------- cop wanted to give me a ticket.

Re: seat belt tickets
In South Carolina, it's a flat $25. It USED TO BE... they could only give u a ticket for it if they pulled you over for another offense, and happened to notice you weren't wearing it.. NOW, they can pull u over for it. Funny story. The SAME DAY that law went into effect... Dec 10 a couple yrs ago, I got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. I was on a lonely highway, doing 75 in a 55 zone. I see a state trooper coming from the opposite direction. I slow down a little, but I my radar beeper thing went off and I knew he clocked me. When he pulled me over.. he asked if I knew why. I willingly said, "I was drivin a little over the limit, wasn't I?". He replies with.. Well, I don't know about that... but you weren't wearing your seatbelt! and I said.. WTF? U mean, u coulda got me for 20 over, and u give me a damn $25, no points, doesnt affect insurance ticket I didnt question his decision! Anyway.. it's a fucked up law. If I decide not to protect myself w/ a seat belt.. that's my decision. I pay insurance for a reason!
