How much is a seatbelt ticket in Indiana?

I’ve got an old junk car and the seatbelt buckle for the driver’s seat has stopped working. I’m not sure if I should pay to get a new one, or just risk getting a seatbelt ticket. What’s the seatbelt ticket fee in Indiana?

A seatbelt ticket will cost you $25 in Indiana. It’s a pretty mild penalty, but you should keep in mind that it’s only the legal consequences you could face from going without a seatbelt. You should definitely get your seatbelt buckle repaired or replaced, regardless of the legal repercussions.
That’s because the risks of driving without a seatbelt can be much, much worse than just a
traffic ticket
. You also face the following:
  • A much higher risk of injury in an accident
  • A much higher risk of death due to an accident
  • In a collision, your body could actually become a projectile.
  • It’s a primary offense in Indiana, which means you can be pulled over just for no seatbelt.
