Our Governor has signed the new seat belt law into effect for all of Florida including Boca Raton which says the police department can pull a driver over just for not wearing a seat belt. In the past they could only give out tickets for this offense if they pulled you over for something else. The state will get funds from the federal government for signing this into law and it is sure to be a good revenue stream for the state as well.
The ticket can cost you from around $30 up to $120. We should all be in the habit of buckling up especially with the amount of accidents we see everyday on our roads. The new law takes effect July 1, 2009.
