My understanding is that you cannot just be pulled over for not having your seat belt on. You have to be stopped for something else, then you can be cited for not having the belt on. So, if you're stopped for speeding, running a stop sign, etc.... you can be cited for the belt violation whether you get a ticket for the other infraction or not. Maybe Swimmer can chime in on this?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
