How much is a no seatbelt ticket in Mississippi?
I’ve just moved from Minnesota to Mississippi and I’m unfamiliar with local traffic laws. What is the penalty for a seatbelt violation in Mississippi?

A no-seatbelt ticket in Mississippi is punishable by a $25 fine. But you could end up paying significantly more because the driver is fined for every unbelted passenger—including backseat passengers.
While seatbelt violations are not considered moving violations in Mississippi and will not add points to your driving record, they still appear in your driving record. That means that no-seatbelt citations can have an effect on your car insurance as it makes you a high-risk driver to insurance companies.
Not only could you be forced to pay $25 for every unbelted passenger in your car, but it may also lead to higher
