What is the penalty for not wearing a seatbelt in a secondary offense?

The penalty for not wearing a seatbelt as a secondary offense typically involves a standard fine, and in some jurisdictions, it may also result in points being assessed on the driver's license. This reflects the enforcement of seatbelt laws aimed at promoting safety on the road. A secondary offense means that law enforcement officers can only issue a citation for this violation if the driver is stopped for another traffic violation. In jurisdictions where seatbelt non-compliance can lead to points on the license, it further emphasizes the seriousness of the offense as it can impact a driver's driving record and insurance rates.

In contrast, no penalty or verbal warnings typically apply in cases where no points or fines are enacted. Vehicle impoundment is generally reserved for more severe offenses and not related to seatbelt use. Thus, option C accurately captures the consequences associated with secondary offenses related to seatbelt non-use.
