California law mandates seat belts for all drivers and passengers 16 and over, requiring the belt to cross the chest and lap. Children under 8 need car or booster seats.
Wearing a seat belt incorrectly, like under the arm, is illegal according to California law. Proper seat belt usage involves the belt crossing the hips and chest to ensure safety.
Improperly wearing a seat belt, such as putting the strap below your arm, poses risks in a crash according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Violating California's seat belt law can lead to a fine of $162 per offense, as per the state Office of Traffic Safety.
