Understanding the Florida Seat Belt Law
Florida's seat belt law is straightforward: Anyone riding in the front seat of a vehicle made after 1968 needs to wear a seat belt. Teens younger than 18 must always wear a car seat belt (or be secured by a safety seat) regardless of seat location.The seatbelt law applies to passengers and drivers in cars, pick-up trucks, and vans. Violators will be fined at least $30 for each offense, plus $6 in court costs. If you're the driver and a passenger younger than 18 breaks this law, you're responsible for the violation.
