Hello Parents,

Failure to follow the booster seat rule can result in a pretty big fine in the state of California.   I wanted to remind you all that anyone under 4 feet 9 inches is required to be in a booster seat.  The child is apparently not allowed to ride in the front seat.  The cross belt is supposed to sit across their shoulder, not their neck.
More traffic fine information:
Special reminder: California’s new traffic fine rules were released on January 1, 2019:

All of the above violations allow for you to go to traffic school for 8 hours.
If you get a 2nd ticket within 18 months, no traffic school, you must pay the penalty, points go on your driving record, and your insurance rates will rise.
You might want to review recommendations these with the drivers in your household to prevent any surprises.
