Motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts – beware.  The 2013 national “Click It or Ticket” Memorial Day seat belt enforcement mobilization kicks off May 20 to help save lives by cracking down on those who don’t buckle up. 

Despite a wealth of data showing that seat belts save lives – and also despite implementation of a primary seat belt law – Kentucky’s 83 percent seat belt usage rate lags behind the national rate of 86 percent. Therefore, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety  is supporting state and local law enforcement across the country in their efforts to strongly enforce seat belt laws around the clock.

Kentucky’s roadway fatalities increased last year, going from 721 deaths in 2011 to 746 in 2012.  More than half of those killed in motor vehicles were not restrained.

While this year’s Click It or Ticket enforcement mobilization runs from May 20 through June 2, motorists should know that officers are out enforcing seat belt laws year-round.
