Jonesboro, AR – Contributed – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Arkansas Highway Safety Office (AHSO) and Arkansas law enforcement are urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign.
The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 18-31.
“Seat belt use should be routine for drivers and passengers alike,” said Arkansas Public Safety Secretary Col. Mike Hagar. “During the Click It or Ticket campaign, Arkansas State Police will be working with fellow law enforcement agencies across local and state lines to ensure the message gets out to drivers and passengers.
