I was one of the 4 passengers in the back of my friends car about a month ago and we all didn't have our seatbelts on so we all received tickets. This is my first ticket EVER and when I searched online how much seatbelt tickets would cost, a lot of sources showed that the first offense shouldn't be over 80 dollars. I got a courtesy notice that says that I need to pay the court a total of $159.00.... does this seem right? It was my very first offense.
I'm willing to admit that I was wrong to not be wearing my seatbelt and i'm willing to pay a fine but this amount seems a little suspicious to me. What do you guys think?
