Book Description
The purpose of the Safety Belt Use Act is to educate rather than punish. However, law enforcement officers should not be constrained from enforcing the act within the bounds of its provisions. When an officer can articulate facts which would lead a cautious person to believe that a violation has occurred, a citation may then issue. Drivers are not to be cited for violations committed by passengers. Any person 10 or more years of age may be held responsible for failure to fasten their safety belt.
