What is the consequence for a driver failing to wear a seatbelt?

Failing to wear a seatbelt is a violation under Ontario's road safety laws, and the consequence for this infraction is the addition of 2 demerit points to the driver's record. Wearing a seatbelt is not only a legal requirement but also a critical safety measure that significantly reduces the risk of injury in the event of a collision. The assignment of 2 demerit points reflects the seriousness of this offense in promoting overall driver and passenger safety. It serves both as a deterrent and as an important reminder of the responsibilities drivers have to themselves and others on the road.
