Click it or Ticket Campaign Underway

The annual two-week Click it or Ticket campaign got underway Monday and deputies from the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department are joining forces with other agencies to step up seat belt enforcement as a way to increase seat belt use, save lives and reduce injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , nearly half of the passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in 2016 were unrestrained. The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning is coordinating the effort, which runs through June 3rd. It is supported by directed federal traffic safety funds.
