On November 1, 2020, a new seat belt law went into effect in New York State. All drivers and passengers must buckle up regardless of age or where they sit in the vehicle.

Wearing a seatbelt is required in personal cars and when riding in a taxi or for-hire vehicle (FHV), including on app-based trips.

The penalty for a seat belt violation is a fine of up to $50 for the passenger and up to $100 and 3 points for the driver if a child under 16 is not properly buckled.

If you are riding with a child in a taxi or for-hire vehicle, a car restraint isn't required but you are encouraged to bring your own car seat. The driver must allow you to install your car seat.

Learn more about car seat and seat belt policies.

You can make complaints about the Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) local offices and employees to New York State by phone or mail.

Complaints against DMV judges must be made in writing.

The Point and Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP) is also known as the Defensive Driving Course or Motor Vehicle Accident Prevention Course. Private companies and organizations throughout New York State offer this course.

Completing an approved course will:

• Refresh your driving knowledge
• Help to prevent you from losing your license in the event you accrued 11 or more points on your driving record
• Reduce the base rate of your auto and motorcycle insurance premiums 10% each year for three years

Completing a course does not:

• Prevent a mandatory suspension or revocation
• Eliminate your responsibility to pay a driver responsibility assessment
• Give you a way to reduce future driver violation points

Learn more about PIRP and find an approved course.
