Yes, it is legal to drive a car without wearing a seatbelt. However, all 50 states have enacted laws regarding the use of seatbelts, with penalties for violations ranging from $25 to $100. In most cases, police will issue warnings for not wearing a seatbelt instead of citations. Even though it is legal in some cases to not wear a seatbelt while driving, it is highly recommended that you do wear one for your safety and the safety of others on the road.

It is indeed legal to drive a car without wearing a seatbelt in most states. In some states, such as New Jersey, Rhode Island and Maryland, every passenger in the vehicle must wear a seatbelt when the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, certain cities or counties within some states may mandate that passengers wear seatbelts as well. However, for the most part it is legal to drive a car without wearing one.
