πŸ”’ It takes 2 seconds to buckle up, and it can save your life. πŸš—πŸ’™

Driving without a required safety restraint, like a seatbelt or child car seat, is one of the most common traffic citations out there, and it can mean fines, court costs, and a mark on your record. 😬

Don't forget:
πŸ”Ή Every passenger needs to be properly restrained, front seat and back πŸ§β€β™‚οΈπŸ§β€β™€οΈ
πŸ”Ή Kids need the right seat for their age, height, and weight πŸ‘Ά
πŸ”Ή Car seats must be installed correctly, not just present πŸ› οΈ
πŸ”Ή Drivers can be cited for unrestrained passengers, including minors 🚸

Quick reminders:
βœ… Check that car seats aren't expired or recalled πŸ“…
βœ… Buckle up before you put the car in drive
βœ… Remind ride share passengers and carpool kids to buckle too πŸš•
βœ… Many local fire stations and hospitals offer free car seat inspections πŸš’

Got a ticket for a seatbelt or child restraint violation? 🎫 Every situation is different, and you may have options. Our team can review your citation and walk you through the next steps. βš–οΈ
