Nevada cops targeting seat belt scofflaws

The Nevada Highway Patrol is teaming up with local law enforcement agencies to educate motorists on seat belt usage. The click it or ticket campaign runs through May 31. 

Anyone who is driving and all passengers 6 or older and weighing more than 60 pounds must wear a seat belt. Any child younger than 6 years and who weighs less than 60 pounds must ride in a federally approved child restraint system. Also, it is always safest for children under 13 years old to sit in the back seat, even for short trips from home.

Seat belt citations carry a $75 fine after court and administration fees. A citation for an unrestrained child is significantly higher.
