Seatbelt Use in Costa Rica No Longer Mandatory



The use of seatbelts in Costa Rica no longer mandatory following a Sala Constitucional or Sala IV (Constitutional Court) ruling on Friday, siding in favour of the appelant, saying that the �237.000 plus costs fine is "disproportionate" and therefore unconstitutional.



Seatbelt use in Costa Rica was declared unconstitutional by the Sala IV.
