[Vision2020] PR - MPD to Participate in Statewide Seatbelt Enforcement Mobilization

[Donovan Arnold]

So if an adult has a juvenile in the car and is not wearing a seat-belt, but the child is, how can this only be a $10 fine. If the driver is thrown from the seat, aren't they recklessly putting the child's life at risk? And you trust a juvenile with driving a car going 70MPH, but not a seat-belt? My opinion, if you're too reckless to operate a seat-belt, you have no business operating a car, take a bus or bike.

How about a fine which will bring some attention to the problem?

$10.00 for an adult fine is nothing, considering the cost of the consequences of not wearing a seat belt.

Is an adult's life worth less than a child, or, juvenile's life?

>February 6, 2013 (Moscow, Idaho) — In an effort to decrease the rate of traffic injuries and focus on the goal of zero death,; the Moscow Police Department will be participating in a statewide seatbelt enforcement mobilization. Through education and increased law enforcement presence, the Moscow Police Department hopes to increase the rate of seatbelt use within our jurisdiction. The enhanced enforcement will be conducted between February 8 and 17.

>In the state of Idaho, (I.C. 49-672, 49-673) seatbelt laws have differing penalties for vehicle operators and passengers, depending upon the age of the occupants.  Vehicle operators are required to have every passenger under the age of 6 secured in a child safety restraint. There can be a $79 fine for violating Idaho’s child car-seat code.  The adult driver of a motor vehicle is required to wear a safety restraint and is responsible for juvenile passengers. There can be a $10 fine for adult drivers not restrained or adult drivers with unrestrained juveniles.  Juvenile drivers are responsible for their own safety restraint and the restraints of their juvenile passengers. There can be a $61.50 fine for an unrestrained juvenile driver, or a juvenile driver with an unrestrained juvenile passenger.  Adult passengers are responsible for their own safety restraint and may face a $10 fine for not wearing a safety restraint.
