Click it or ticket
Make sure family members get home safely this holiday season by buckling seat belts on every trip, day and night. That’s the message to drivers as part of the holiday Click It or Ticket mobilization through Nov. 30. Officers will be out in force looking for anyone—driver, passenger or child—not properly restrained.
No warnings will be given. The Click It or Ticket campaign relies on heavy enforcement and education as a means to help save lives on California’s roadways.
California has a seat belt usage rate of 95.4 percent, but that still means more than 1.5 million people in the state aren’t buckling up. Properly restrained drivers, passengers and children have a 50 percent better chance of surviving a crash than unbelted occupants. Those ejected from vehicles in crashes or roll-overs are up to 35 times more likely to die than restrained occupants.
More than 175 law enforcement agencies statewide and the CHP will participate in this year’s Click It or Ticket mobilization. Funding to support the campaign was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
