How much is a seatbelt ticket in California?
Are seatbelt tickets more expensive in California? I’m about to move and I know that California laws can be a little bit different from other states, so I don’t know what to expect as far as ticket costs.

You’re right that
California’s laws
can vary a lot from the average state! When it comes to seatbelt tickets, the first offense in California is a fairly standard $20 charge. However, you’ll end up paying closer to $162 for the ticket when you include fees.If you’re caught a second time, you’ll be charged $50 on your ticket, making your final ticket cost with fees closer to $190. This is significantly higher than most seatbelt tickets in other US states.
When you do move to California, you’ll need to update your car insurance. To make sure that you’re still getting the best rate, check out the
