What is the fine for not using a safety belt if the passenger is above 15 years of age?

In Texas, the law regarding safety belts mandates that all passengers aged 15 and above are required to wear a seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. If a passenger fails to comply with this law, the fines are set within a specific range. The correct range for fines for not using a safety belt for those over 15 years of age is established at $25 to $50.

This range serves both as a deterrent to enhance compliance with safety regulations and to promote the importance of wearing seat belts for passenger safety. Enforcement of these fines helps to reinforce the seat belt law and underscores the responsibility of individuals to safeguard themselves as well as their fellow passengers.

By understanding this specific range, individuals can recognize the financial implications of non-compliance and the overarching goal of promoting road safety.
