    I beleive in Wisconsin the fine is only $10, but once you put other costs associated with it, it comes in around $40-$50

    First offense - $25 per person not belted, driver pays all.
    Second offense - $50 per person not belted, driver pays all.

    I don't recall what it is from there, but the progression is very near geometric.

    $75 in IL.
    I wore my seat belt more before they passed the law...must be some kind of subconscience anti-authority thing.

    For now you are correct but you know eventually they will crank it up as a cash cow.

    Question... Why WOULDN'T you want to wear a seat belt?

    Especially when someone else is behind the wheel. :confused:

    I don't know what the fines are in Ohio but I'm sure my son knows...
