Will seatbelt violations go on your driving record?
I was running a quick errand yesterday and forgot to put on my seatbelt. Even though I was only going a few miles, I got pulled over. Thankfully, I was let off with a warning, but now I’m worried. Do seatbelt violations get added to my driving record?

Oh, no! I’m glad you got off without a ticket, though.
Whether seatbelt violations go on your driving record depends on your state’s seatbelt laws. If your state classifies seatbelt infractions as moving violations, it will affect your driving record.
States like California, New Mexico, and Florida do classify seatbelt offenses as moving violations. But states like Nebraska and North Carolina do not unless a child under a certain age isn’t wearing a seatbelt.
It’s always safest to wear your seatbelt no matter where you’re going. Plus, moving violations can negatively
affect your insurance rates
