Improper use of seatbelt ticket

[CdwJava]

I personally think, and this is my opinion only, that a person ought to be able, in fact encouraged, to go to traffic school and get some education in the proper use of a seatbelt, plus tips for how to handle physical disabilities that make it difficult to wear in the way police look for. Then, if it is a first offense, it should not appear on the record if the person satisfactorily completed the traffic school course.

I do not think that a seatbelt violation is eligible for traffic school since it is not a point on your license.

I have heard that a medical exemption may be possible.

You have a medical condition requiring this exemption?

And, yes, there is a medical exemption.

Still, I think they are going WAAAY overboard with these seatbelt tickets, and for the record, I DO believe in seatbelts, just think this campaign to stop anyone APPEARING not to wear one as they think proper, is just going too far.

Contact the state legislature - they make the law.

Most the time, the cites are issued to people not wearing them at all. Improper use is a small minority of the citations issued. Also, the end of May found the nation in the midst of the Click-it or Ticket campaign - that's why the enforcement was so high.

Wear them appropriately and you shouldn't have a problem.
