This week kicks off the Click It Or Ticket Campaign where participating agencies across the state will increase seat belt enforcement as part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) nationwide mobilization.
From May 20 through June 2, remember motorists, to Click It or Ticket. Buckle up, it is the simplest thing you can do to limit injury or save your life during a crash . One focus of the Click It or Ticket campaign is nighttime enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities happen at night.
Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night. In Greene County, the maximum penalty for a seat belt violation is thirty dollars for the first offense and fifty-five dollars after that offense.
