Motor Vehicles — failure to wear seat belt — operating without insurance

Catherine Gotthardt appeals pro se from an order of the circuit court requiring her to pay: one forfeiture in the amount of $10 for a violation of Wis. Stat. § 347.48(2m)(b) (vehicle operator failure to wear seat belt); two forfeitures in the amount of $10 each for violations of § 347.48(2m)(c) (vehicle operator failure to have passengers wear seat belts); and one forfeiture in the amount of $200.50 for a violation of Wis. Stat. § 344.62(1) (operating a motor vehicle without insurance), plus a witness fee of $16.50. Gotthardt’s arguments on appeal are in some respects difficult to discern, but they are summarized below as this court understands them. This court concludes that Gotthardt fails to develop any meritorious argument on appeal. This opinion will not be published.
