Click It ot Ticket campaign underway in Florida

The “Click it or Ticket” campaign starts Monday all across Florida and continues through Memorial Day weekend.  Captain Roger Norris with the Florida Highway Patrol say troopers are making sure everyone is wearing their seatbelt. He adds this campaign is about safety awareness.

“This is a general campaign. We’re just trying to keep people alive. We’re trying to educate the public, make sure they are wearing their seatbelts. We want everyone to wear it. It reduces the fatalities when you have a crash, it reduces the injuries, and that’s the big thing,” said Norris.

Florida Highway Patrol says they have zero-tolerance for offenders. In Florida, any driver or passenger in the front seat not wearing their seatbelt can be pulled over. Anyone under eighteen, regardless of where they sit, must wear a seatbelt. The campaign will last until June 3rd.
