Is a seatbelt ticket a moving violation in NY?
I recently received a seatbelt ticket in New York State, and I’m worried it will add points to my driving record. Is a seatbelt ticket a moving violation in NY?
Mariza Morin · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
While all passengers are required to wear seatbelts in New York State, a seatbelt ticket is only a moving violation in NY if a passenger under 16 years old isn’t buckled up.
If this is the case, then you as the driver could receive three points on your
New York driving record
, not to mention a fine between $25 and $100. If you or your passengers are over the age of 16 and not wearing a seatbelt, you could still receive a $50 fine.
If a moving violation has increased your insurance premium, you can still lower your
New York insurance costs
without sacrificing coverage with Jerry
