Get a free consultation from a New Paltz seat belt ticket lawyer

If you have to go appear in New Paltz traffic court because you or an underage passenger in your vehicle wasn’t wearing a seat belt, attorney George Selby is the one to call, according to the reviews we get. At Selby Legal, we handle all kinds of New Paltz traffic tickets written by state police, as well as town and university police officers and sheriff’s deputies.

The New York seat belt law was passed in 1985, and was first in the nation. Since then, the types of seat belt violations have been expanded, and the penalties have been increased for failing to buckle up.

1229-c covers a variety of situations, ranging from the driver not wearing a seat belt through and including there being no child restraint system for the youngest passengers. Anyone over sixteen years of age in a vehicle without a belt on going to a town court can be on the hook for a fine of up to $143.00 for a guilty plea, but when kids are involved the penalty climbs to a maximum $193.00, plus three points. If you choose to exercise your rights and plead not guilty, hiring Selby Legal means that you do not need to go to court yourself to get this resolved. Judges in New Paltz take safety seriously, and having an experienced attorney appear on your behalf can send the message that you are taking this seriously, too.
