Heads up! Seat Belt Offenders Become FHP Target


Posted on Mar 01, 2010

From now until March 14, Alachua County drivers can expect to dish out $104 for not wearing their seat belts.

Over the next two weeks, the Florida Highway Patrol, in an effort to increase seat belt use through its "Click it or Ticket" campaign, will actively be on the look out for the estimated 15 percent of Florida drivers who do not wear their seat belts.

Beginning in June of last year, not wearing your seatbelt became a primary offense, which allows law enforcement officers to make a stop based solely on not being buckled up properly.

Florida law requires those 18 and over to wear seat belts if they are riding in the front seat of a vehicle (minors must be properly restrained at all times).
