#Kentucky Safety Laws - Cell Phone, Seat Belt, Car Seat, Child Safety Laws in KY

Page Overview

Seat Belts

Per KRS 189.125. the driver and all passengers in a moving vehicle must wear seat belts. Exceptions include:

  • USPS letter carriers on duty.
  • Drivers or passengers with disabilities that make it unsafe or impossible to wear a seat belt, in which case a letter from the person's physician must be present.
  • Children who are properly restrained in child safety seats (see below).

Child Car Seat

KRS 189.125 and the Kentucky Drivers Manual make it clear that drivers must secure all children who are 40 inches in height and below in approved child safety seats. This is known as Kentucky's Child Restraint Law.

Violating the law can result in a $50 fine and an extra $10 donation―out of your pocket―to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund.

If you need assistance on how to install a car seat, visit the Kentucky State Police's Child Safety Seat Inspection website.
