What is the seat belt law in Kentucky?

I’ve heard mixed opinions over the years from my fellow Kentuckians about seat belt regulations in our state. To clear up any misunderstandings I may have, my question is: What are the seat belt laws in Kentucky?

Seat belt laws exist in almost every state (except those rebels in New Hampshire). According to
seat belt laws in Kentucky
, the driver and all passengers are required to wear a seat belt when the vehicle is in motion. This law went into effect statewide back in 2006.
Passengers who are age six or younger or under 50 inches tall are subject to the
Kentucky car seat law
which requires them to be buckled into a car seat or booster seat to prevent injury or death in the event of a crash.
Motorists who violate Kentucky’s seat belt law will be fined 25. Violating the Kentucky car seat law could get you a ticket fine of $30.
Traffic tickets are not only a pain but getting too many can also have a negative impact on your
car insurance
rate. If you want to find the best prices for
