You could face license suspension or fines, and even jail time for repeat offenders.
  • All drivers and passengers are required to wear safety belts while driving in the state of Mississippi. Children under two must travel in the back seat in rear-facing or convertible seats.

FAQs about hiring a car in Mississippi

The most important thing you can do while driving in Mississippi is to buckle your seatbelt. The next best thing you can do is to put away your phone when behind the wheel.
