How much is a seatbelt ticket in California?

California is a primary enforcement state, and a seatbelt ticket here will cost you a base fine of $20 for the first offense.

The cost of a seatbelt ticket will vary based on the state you are from. For example, each state is categorized as a primary or secondary enforcement. The highest fine is $162 for a moving driving violation without wearing a seatbelt.

Keep in mind that these are basic fines, but you might end up paying more because of extra fees and penalties. Also, not wearing a seatbelt is a primary offense, which means you can be pulled over just for that reason.
