Seat Belt Crackdowns Begin Across the U.S. with "Click It or Ticket" Campaign

The annual "Click It or Ticket" campaign in New Jersey began on Monday and will run through June 4th. Police officers will be on the lookout for drivers and passengers who are not wearing seat belts. Last year, 8,373 seat belt citations were issued during the campaign. Of the 694 people killed in traffic crashes in New Jersey last year, 40% were not wearing seat belts. 134 law enforcement agencies are receiving $798,350 in grant money to help pay for the two-week seat belt crackdown.
