June 2010, the exemption for seat belt use for drivers and riders in pickup trucks ended. Georgia law states that if you are in a pickup truck YOU MUST buckle up your seat belt. Each occupant riding in a pick up truck seat shall be restrained by a seat belt while the vehicle is operated on a public road, street, or highway of this state. Law enforcement around Georgia will be watching. Just like in cars, if you don’t click it, expect a ticket.
