Keep your seatbelt on when stopped.

Recently I have had a lot of clients complain that the seatbelt citation that they received was not correct; that he or she had the seatbelt on when stopped. Here is the typical scenario: a policeman stops a driver for whatever violation. Then while the police approaches the vehicle, the driver takes off the seatbelt to reach into the glove box to get the insurance and registration to show to the officer. When the officer walks up to the vehicle he or she sees the driver with the seatbelt off. Lesson learned, keep your seatbelt on until the police officer see it across your lap, then get your insurance and registration. FYI - Courts are enforcing public policy for a driver having no seatbelt. The fine is usually $67.00. The Courts want your seatbelt on.
