Court seems a bit much for a seat belt offence, is have thought it would be a fine, failure to pay might be court etc

If it goes to court it’s a £500 fine and 3 points on your licence normally.

That’s what I was thinking but unfortunately that’s what the police officer said will happen once I receive the summon through post.

If it goes to court, then its UPTO

£500 and 3 points.

Could be that your local police force is having a crackdown in minor motoring offences.

£100 fine, no points. You should have been given a ticket roadside. If you pay you accept the charge if you don’t you go to court.

That’s what I was thinking but wasn’t given that option.

That makes sense especially if it’s a first time offence

I’d suggest then, that the bizzies just wanted to give you a warning. Seatbelt has to be on-the-spot not retrospective, I believe.

It's none endorsable (as passengers in vehicle may not all have a licence,so cant be issued points,even if you were driver and licence holder)

The driver is responsible for passengers under age of 14 to wear seatbelts,over that it's the individuals responsible

Sounds like a right bloody jobs worth, no common sense.

How much did that cost in time and paperwork for a minor offence.

Might sound cliche but I was en route to be a shoulder to lean on for a family m_mber after some bad news. no valid excuse especially since the seat belt is for my own safety.

Put that into percentage terms of the billions of people who drive on the roads in those 8 years and the number would be miniscule. Meanwhile other victims of crimes are told the crime can't be investigated because of lack of manpower. So 4 police officers for someone not wearing a seatbelt is ridiculously excessive.

Up to £500 not fixed at £500 and it's not an endorsable offence yet that is still draft legislation I believe, so no penalty points

They could also lead by example. So many don’t wear theirs. Guilty of never wearing one too though.

It reads as if they were all in the same vehicle, not that 4 officers were scrambled to the scene for back up. They were already there so just got out of the van.

As others have said it's a non-endorsable offence. £100 and no points. However, some forces are moving away from the decision being made on the roadside and instead measured by their seriousness in the circumstances (although this is usually for endorsable offences such as speeding).

Which is what the OP has said already. She agreed she was in the wrong. She hasn't looked for excuses or loop holes to get out of it. She just wanted to know what the likely outcome was from other people's experiences.

Won't work. If she didn't mention it at the roadside whilst she was stopped then she can't use it as a defence later.

First two officers took my detail and then 2 more came along. They were very nice officers tho and ended up having a convo about other things in the end.

They just said I’ll receive a letter in the post in a few days

Surely there a more important jobs police officers could be doing. Motorists are easy targets.

It reads as if they were all in the same vehicle, not that 4 officers were scrambled to the scene for back up. They were already there so just got out of the van. "

Precisely, that was the case. Everyone was all in one vehicle

Seems that your local force has a local policy on it. Or maybe there was an aggravating factor involved. Or simply could be down to the officer not having any fixed penalties with them

A lad I used to know was out with a car full of friends many years ago and his rear passengers didn't have seatbelts on. He flipped the car while going too fast overtaking thinking he was clever, one 17 year old girl was thrown out of the window into the road and died instantly, and his 20 year old best friend was thrown out of the other side into a ditch before the car landed on him causing horrific injuries and putting him in a coma for months. It would still have been a nasty accident regardless, but had they had seatbelts on the girl would probably have survived and the other guy wouldn't have ended up having his body rebuilt and being permanently crippled. The driver got significant jail time. Sorry for the lecture but I can't believe people don't put seatbelts on, just why wouldn't you?

£100 fine, no points. You should have been given a ticket roadside. If you pay you accept the charge if you don’t you go to court.

That’s what I was thinking but wasn’t given that option.

That makes sense especially if it’s a first time offence

Sounds like a right bloody jobs worth, no common sense.

How much did that cost in time and paperwork for a minor offence."

You will get a NIP (notice of intended prosecution) through the post. There will be an option in there of paying a fixed penalty of £100 or ignore it and wait for the summons. Most people just pay the fixed penalty unless they can prove that they are innocent.

To prove innocence you will need to prove that you are except from wearing a seat belt as the officers body cam will show you not wearing it as will the camera on the car, so denying it will get you nowhere except a charge of purgery.

Got to laugh. Safe to say in my 'expert' opinion you're not getting the jail. Put the kettle on and stop worrying.

And to anyone moaning about the police doing their job. They're doing their job. I'm sure they do have better things to be doing like sky diving off the Maldives but they don't get paid for that.

Might sound cliche but I was en route to be a shoulder to lean on for a family m_mber after some bad news. no valid excuse especially since the seat belt is for my own safety.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation for a temporary lapse in concentration ... did you explain that to them at the time?

Its usually a £100 fine and no penalty points for a first offence so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The law changed last July. It used to be £100fine. But new stricter measures, were introduced in July 2019 to stop repeating offenders. This means if they take you to court, the fine can be up to £500 and you definately get 3 points on your licence. Taking you to court now, varies from force to force. It may seem harsh. Good luck though anyway x

A seat belt offence is non-endorsable so it's just a fine not points

I rem_mber correctly the only reason you would go to court as if you are contesting the penalty so other than that is an on-the-spot written fine

If that was aimed at us then yes we still stand by what we said. To be a victim of several crimes, one being a knife crime, only to be told the police to our face that they won't do anything as they don't have the manpower is damn upsetting and annoying.

But anyway, this isn't what this thread is about so we will leave it there.

According to the national road safety figures. Wearing a seatbelt reduces the chance of a car crash being fatal by 45% and causing life changing injuries by 53%. The statistics show an instant change from the point that seatbelt were introduced.

I also don't believe that the police would ever tell someone that they would have been worse off if they were wearing their seatbelt, that sort of comment would be purely speculative and depend on a huge number of specific circumstances.

I drive all day at work without a seatbelt, when I get in my car to go home sometimes it just doesn’t register that I’m driving without one on, my car doesn’t have the warning light or annoying sound to remind you. It’s easy done I’m afraid.

Not really when you think how much would it cost for emergency services to come out and put her in a body bag if there had been a crash and she had gone through the windscreen. I know two people that have died this way one at just 19 so buckle up and be safe or safer at least.

There was a crash on the A23 a few years ago, the passengers died at the scene for not wearing a seat belt. The rear near side passenger had life changing injuries, due to not wearing a seat belt. The rear offside passenger got whiplash, he was wearing a seat belt.

There could be a moral there somewhere.

Statistics aside and to cut a long story short. I had an accident many years ago before seat belt laws, had I been wearing one and unable to slide onto the passenger seat, I would not be here today as a telegraph pole pushed the engine into the drivers side in the crash. So there is always a flip side to safety and statistics.

To a point.

It's not fun pulling the steering column out of someone's chest though. Ruins your nails!

"Does anyone know what happens next after getting pulled over by the police for not wearing your seat belt??

Was told I’ll get a letter in the post to attend court.

OP. If they have decided court then they have 6 months to summons you. Its unusual to go straight to court though. If you already have you to on your licence, they cant give you a ticket if the points on the ticket would take you to 12.

"How did you get on ? Heard anything yet ? X"

I’ve not heard anything back from them yet. Just waiting to see.

I have never had any points on my licence. Will just take the route that they chose in the end.
