“Click It or Ticket” Begins

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Police officers across the country are
going to be paying closer attention to make sure motorists are
wearing their seat belts.
Their message to motorists is buckle up or pay up as officers
kick off the "Click It or Ticket" campaign tomorrow.
The goal of click it or ticket is to increase seat belt usage.
More officers and troopers will be on the roads looking out for
drivers and passengers who aren't buckled up.
Authorities say 58 million Americans are still driving or riding
unbuckled and that costs around $18-billion dollars a year in
medical, insurance, and overhead costs.
The campaign runs through June 1st.
