so no ideas on how much it would cost me? cause so far I"ve read that fighting it would just be a waste of time and **** of the court people, so far I"ve read it to be from $20 to $50 but the document was copyrighted from 1997, so i dunno how much that would be reliable, any ideas?

i know ignorance of the law isn't acceptable(not saying ur dumb), but how about telling the judge u had the auto seatbelt on n u thought that was enuf. Or u forgot to click it n got a ticket.
Seatbelt laws suck, But they do save lives

true true, I kinda thought about that, but i figured me being a teenager in a sports car doesnt really help my situation much, you know cause of all that news talk about teenagers being reckless drivers, and from reading in other forums about fighting it, they said that its better to just pay it than **** them off, because its rare to get out of a seatbelt ticket...so I"m kinda screwed either way....Me'h ive got about a month to figure things out
