Click It or Ticket
Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for people between the ages of five and 34. Crashes also cause millions of serious injuries each year. Every 10 seconds, someone is treated in an emergency department for a crash-related injury.
The simple act of buckling up is the best way to save lives and reduce injuries from crashes. In a crash, wearing a seat belt reduces your chance of being killed or seriously injured by half.
During October 14-27, law enforcement is conducting increased “click it or ticket” seat belt patrols. Officers will stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. This campaign aims to increase belt use and stop preventable deaths and injuries.
Wear your seat belt on every trip, no matter how short, and insist that everyone else in the car is buckled too.
Remember, every person, every seat, every trip… “Click-It.”
