Wear a seatbelt or face penalties

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will increase its effort to enforce California's seatbelt laws through May.

The effort is part of the department's ongoing Click It or Ticket campaign to help California achieve 100 percent seat belt use.

Deputies will be on the lookout for adults not using seatbelts and also teens and children who are not properly restrained. They will not accept excuses or give warnings.

Tickets for first seat belt violations range from $80 to $91 for adults and $330 to $401 for children under age 16.
