“Click it or Ticket” Seat Belt Safety Campaign to Run Through Memorial Day
As Memorial Day nears, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department reminds everyone taking a trip over the Memorial Weekend to always wear their seat belts and keep children in child safety seats.
According to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, this year's Click or Ticket Campaign will run through Memorial Day. The campaign began on May 23 and will run through to June 5. During this time, according to the Sheriff's department, more officers will be patrol looking for drivers and passengers with no seat belts, as well as vehicles where children are not in secured child safety seats.
According to Deputy Ray Cortez of Riverside County Sheriff's Department, wearing a seat belt should be automatic for all drivers and passengers. “It is the safest thing to do, especially when it comes to securing children in child safety seats', Deputy Ray Said.
In 2020, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 10,893 people who were not wearing safety belts died in traffic collisions. California accounted for 20 percent of the traffic deaths. This translates to 756 fatalities.
The State of California has a primary safety belt law allowing the police to ticket anyone not wearing a seat belt without committing any other traffic violation.
