norrix420 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I got pulled over today on 270 for no front license plate. I was driving my work car back to work from a different job site when i got pulled over. I didn't realize that i did not have a front plate on the front, but that’s not my issue. He gave me a warning for that so I went out and bought a new plate and I’m good now. He did give me a ticket for not having my seatbelt on which is a 91 dollar fine. The problem is that when I bought the car it did not have a shoulder belt. I have been driving for two years now without it. I always where the lap belt which I was when he pulled me over. This car is a 1995 ford escort where the shoulder belt automatically moves into place when the door is shut. I was also given a warning for my muffler being to loud as I believe the pipe broke down below and I need to get that fixed. Is this no seat belt ticket that I was issued today going to go against my license and will I receive points from this and will this increase my insurance? I was already pulled over earlier this year for speeding so I’m not sure if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 seatbelt ticket is a no points violation. I say hit up a junk and get a replacement belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 No points, and as far as I know, it doesn't go against your insurance, but I could easily be mistaken. And don't feel too bad, cops are pretty much bound to hand out no seatbelt tickets to everyone possible, I don't think they are given much leeway on that these days. If there was a model of your car that came with normal belts instead of that automated shit, you may want to just swap it. Auto belts are annoying as fuck. You are lucky you only got a warning for the plate, that's normally a painful fine (but again, no points). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMTC Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 My insurance was adjusted for a seatbelt violation about a year ago. Still no points but it does show up on the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
