California Seat Belt Law Explained | Fresno News

California’s seat belt law, active since 1986, requires every driver and passenger to buckle up before moving — even if parked. While it saves thousands of lives yearly, many still skip it. Drivers are legally responsible for ensuring everyone is secured, including when stopped. Exceptions exist for taxi drivers, limo riders, and emergency vehicle crews — but front-seat passengers still need to wear belts. Police can pull you over for not buckling, and penalties vary: under-16 passengers mean the driver gets ticketed, while 16+ passengers face their own fines. Base fine is $20, but total costs can hit nearly $200 — a small price for safety. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
