How much is a seat-belt ticket in Arkansas?

It is a short drive to the convenience store from my home so sometimes I don’t put on my seat belt if I’m in a hurry. I do worry about getting caught, though. I was wondering, how much would a seatbelt ticket be in Arkansas?

Thank you for your question!
The seatbelt ticket will cost you $25 plus court fees.
The Arkansas seat-belt laws require drivers and front-seat passengers to wear their seat-belts at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Children under the age of 15 must also wear a seat-belt or sit in a car seat.
Since seat-belt laws are a primary law in Arkansas, you can get pulled over by an officer if they see you without it on.
While the fine doesn’t seem expensive to pay off, it can negatively impact you in other ways. The citation you get from breaking the Arkansas seat-belt laws will appear on your driving record.
Having multiple citations will raise red flags for insurance providers and they may consider you a high-risk driver. Not only will this raise your insurance premiums, but some providers may even refuse you as a customer.
If your insurance has already gone up due to past citations,
