Is a seat belt violation a moving 'point' violation or just a pay it violation?

Answer:

Whether or not a seat belt infraction carries points depends on what state (or country) you are in:

  • Florida's new "Click it or Ticket" program now assesses 3 points to one's driving record.
  • In all Provinces and Territories in Canada, it IS a traffic offense and it carries a fine and THREE POINTS on your driver's license record, which stays on for 3 years from the date of the CONVICTION. Obviously we take it more seriously in Canada, than in the USA.
  • In Connecticut, a ticket will be issued (and the entailed fine), but no points are assessed on your license.
