What is the seatbelt law in Missouri?
I’m new to Missouri and still getting used to the traffic laws in this state. What is the law around seatbelts in Missouri?
Matt Nightingale · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
All front-seat passengers and drivers must wear a seatbelt in Missouri, and minors 15 years of age or younger must wear a seatbelt at all times. The penalty for not wearing a seatbelt in Missouri is a $10 fine plus court fees, and drivers will be assessed fines for any unbelted minors under 16 years of age.
Seatbelt violations are non-moving violations in Missouri, meaning they do not add points to your driving record and typically won’t impact your car insurance. But even though a citation doesn’t add points to your record, it’s still added to your driver abstract. If you accrue multiple seatbelt violations, your insurance provider can see this and consequently increase your rates.
