If you or anyone in your vehicle isn't properly restrained, how much can you be issued as a citation?

The citation amount for not properly restraining yourself or anyone in your vehicle reflects the seriousness of ensuring safety through seat belt use and other restraints. In Utah, the law mandates that all passengers must be restrained properly, as this significantly reduces the risk of injury and fatality during accidents.

The $45 citation amount emphasizes the state's commitment to road safety. It serves both as a deterrent against non-compliance and as a means to encourage compliance with safety regulations. By enforcing this particular citation amount, authorities aim to promote awareness and the importance of using seat belts and other safety restraints to protect all vehicle occupants.
