In some states, seat belt tickets are simply infractions, or non-moving violations such as parking tickets, which only require payment of a fine. A seat belt ticket fine typically ranges from about $10 to $200. Plus, if you fail to pay the fine on time, you can be charged late fees, penalties, interest, and the costs of collecting the fine from you. In other states, however, seat belt tickets are considered to be more serious offenses, and, in addition to a fine, points will be placed on your driving record; if enough points are added, your driver's license can be suspended. A suspended driver's license, depending on your job and/or career, can be financially devastating; if you are a truck driver by profession, you obviously will have difficulty making a living without a valid driver's license. Additionally, the addition of points to your driving record inevitably results in increased auto insurance premiums.
