Seatbelt Law in California
The safety laws in CA are clear-cut and can be found on the DMV website. Basically, everyone must always be buckled up properly with a seat belt.This means:
- Passengers may not share car seat belts.
- You may not put a shoulder belt under your arm.
- If the seatbelt is not big enough, then you must order an extender.
Drivers of limos, emergency vehicles, or taxis cannot operate the vehicle with a front-seat passenger, unless the passenger has a car seat belt on.
Exceptions
The car seat belt laws do not apply to people who have a medical condition where they cannot buckle up. These people must carry a letter from the doctor with them.
Pickup Trucks and Seatbelt Law
Unlike some other states, it is illegal to transport people in the back of a pick-up truck in California. If you have a truck with an enclosed camper shell and there are chairs with seat belts installed, then you may carry passengers. Otherwise, the truck bed may not be used to transport people.Post Comment for "What is the CA seat belt law?"
