Seat belts are designed with one purpose, to keep you as safe as possible in the event your vehicle is in an accident. In accidents where the vehicle rolls, drivers or passengers that aren’t wearing seatbelts are often expelled from the vehicle through a window. The Florida seat belt law requires that front seat passengers must wear seat belts while the vehicle is in motion. When there are children 18 and under the vehicle, they are required to always wear a seat belt, regardless of where they are seated.

If a seat belt broke, malfunctioned and you received a Florida seat belt ticket anyway, your not alone. Many people reach out and ask questions like:

• If my seatbelt is broken, why did I still get a ticket?
• How much is a seatbelt ticket in Florida?
• Is a seatbelt ticket a moving violation in Florida?

The answers are all dependent on your particular case and the best thing to do is to hire a professional to fight that ticket. We all understand that accidents or bouts of forgetfulness happen, especially as we rush in our busy lives. If you recieved a seat belt ticket in Florida, The Traffic Team can help!
