| Kansas seatbelt law
I found this about the Kansas seatbelt law... Quote:
Kansas has a secondary seat belt law for adults, which means an officer cannot pull over a vehicle solely for a seat belt violation. A driver would have to break a traffic law and then be cited for the additional seat belt violation.
However, the state has a primary seat belt law for children 14 and younger. That means children must be securely restrained in a vehicle and an officer can pull over a vehicle if it appears a child is not properly restrained.
With the new legislation, the primary seat belt law will extend to cover children 17 and younger.
| Also... Quote:
Seat belt violations are $10 and child safety seat violations are $60. Eichkorn said a front-seat passenger also may be cited for not wearing a seat belt.
He said the Kansas Legislature passed a new seat belt law that goes into effect July 1. The law increases the fine for adult seat belt violations to $30 and also makes it mandatory for occupants 14 through 17 to be buckled no matter where they are inside the vehicle.
| As I read the article, an adult not sitting in the front seat isn't required to wear a seatbelt.
