Does South Carolina law require me to wear a seatbelt as the driver or the passenger of a motor vehicle?
Yes it does. Both driver and passenger(s) are required to wear seatbelts at all times while the vehicle is in use on public highways. Due to a recent change in the seatbelt law, you can now be stopped by law enforcement officers and charged with a violation without having violated any other traffic laws. An exception to the seatbelt law is granted to any motor vehicle manufactured prior to July, 1966.
