Is a seatbelt ticket a moving violation in Tennessee?

I was driving in my adopted home of Nashville when I was pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt. The officer didn’t give me a ton of information about it, but I’m worried my car insurance rates might increase. Is a seatbelt ticket in Tennessee considered a moving violation?

to increase.

However, recent changes to

seatbelt laws in Tennessee

mean that your ticket will cost you $30 on the first offense and $55 on every subsequent offense.

While a seatbelt ticket isn’t a moving violation and won’t cause an increase to your car insurance rates, regularly shopping for
