Columbus, OH asked in Traffic Tickets for Ohio

Q: Can I get a seatbelt ticket after being pulled over for a cracked windshield.There are no rules to what makes it illegal

No rules for a illegal window, when you can see clearly out of it. Plus seatbelt ticket is a secondary and I did not have any moving violations. Should I take it to court.

A: Not sure how you know there are "no rules for a (sic) illegal window when you can see clearly out of it." But I will advise you not to raise that excuse as your only defense if you do go to court. Strong advise: Pay the fine and then get the cracked window fixed. In Florida it costs little or nothing to fix a small crack in the windshield.
