Seatbelts, Click It Or Ticket !!

It's time to Buckle Up New York !!!  The “Click it or Ticket, Buckle Up New York” campaign began May 23 and runs through June 5. I always prefer to click it even if I would not get a ticket.  Currently seat belt use during the day is the highest New York State has ever seen according to DMV commissioner Barbara Fiala. It's important to buckle your seat belt at all times. Seat belts save lives and a seat belt has helped to save my life.

The Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research conducted an analysis on reported seat belt use by front seat occupants involved in motor vehicle crashes in New York State between 2007 and 2009. According to those findings, the use rate among males was 11% lower at night and the use rate among females was 12% lower.
