It is important to note that all front seat passengers and people under 16 years of age are required to wear seat belts, both the lap and shoulder belt (with the exception of infants and young children) in a moving vehicle.Ā This statute is a secondary enforcement law, which means you must be stopped for another primary violation.Ā If you are not properly restrained you can be issued a citation.
