and the fine is relatively small ($10);

I just checked again...its only $10.

I think they are trying to break it to us slowly.

First, it was just a secondary offense for the driver...i.e., if you got pulled over for speeding, and they just happened to see you didn’t have a seatbelt on, they could write you up for that too.

Then it became a secondary offense for the passenger too.

Then it became a primary offense for the driver...meaning you could be pulled over explicitly for no seat belt...but don’t worry, its only ten bucks.

I’m sure it will go up soon enough. Right now, oddly, there are no ‘court costs’...I’m sure that won’t last forever.
