If you are convicted for the seat belt violation, the citation will appear on your CA driving record. Your insurance company will then know about this offense once they check your Motor Vehicle Record or MVR.
The car insurance rates should be according to the years of experience in driving, the mileage driven in a year and the driver’s safety record based on CA Proposition 103. The insurance companies can also use 16 optional rating factors, which received an approval from the CA Insurance Department. These factors may include the characteristics of the vehicle like the safety features, marital status, the location where the car is garaged, and the type of the car driven.
Your offense for not wearing a seatbelt may increase your rates since driver’s record is a rating factor for insurance providers. You can contact your insurance agent to find out the rating system of the company.
