Are You Ready For Click It Or Tick It?

Local police will be on the lookout to make sure motorists are wearing their seatbelts.

The  the national “Click It or Ticket” Seatbelt Enforcement initiative runs from  from May 15 to June 4.

Primarily between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. daily, officers will be checking to see if motorists and passengers are buckled up through the use of traffic enforcement zones and roving patrols.

Citations will be issued to motorists who are caught unbuckled or are transporting unrestrained children, according to a news release. Children ages 4 to 8 must be restrained in a proper booster seat, and a law passed in August 2016 requires children under the age of 2 be seated in a rear-facing child passenger restraint system until the child outgrows it.

 Drivers and front-seat passengers 18 years and older are required to buckle up. If motorists are stopped for a traffic violation and are not buckled up, they can receive a second ticket and a second fine.
