Your states seatbelt laws..
Posted: Wed May 23, 2007 8:53 am
In Maine we can only be fined, if we get pulled over for another violation.
They have recently signed a bill that gives cops the right to pull you over just for seatbelts. Previously they
couldn't.
The new bill gives them the right to give us warnings up until 08. I guess, that amendment gives everyone time to become familiar with the law. (Get pulled over ten times you might start wearing your seatbelt)
April 2008 they will able to start pulling us over just for seatbelts not being worn and fine us.
