Click It or Ticket Enforcement Starts Today
Monday, May 20th, 2013 -- 9:07 AM
-Clark County Sheriff's Department is joining hundreds of law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement mobilization starting today and running until June 2.?Our officers will be on the lookout day and night for unbuckled motorists. If you?re not wearing a safety belt, we will stop your vehicle and you will get a ticket,? said Sheriff Greg Herrick.
In Wisconsin, approximately one out of five motorists does not buckle up, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. More than half of the drivers and passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes in 2011 were not wearing safety belts. Last year, there were more than 100,000 convictions for failure to fasten a seat belt.
Sheriff Herrick said, ?Our officers take safety belt enforcement seriously in an effort to reach the ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.?
