Click It or Ticket Campaign Underway

In 2009, 700 people lost their loves on Mississippi highways and 68% of them were not wearing their seatbelt. To encourage more seatbelt usage in the state, The Ms. Dept. of Public Safety is in the middle of the "Click It or Ticket" campaign across the state. Normally seatbelt violations result in a warning not a citation, but from May 24 til June 6, Law enforcement officers can & will issue tickets if you are observed without wearing your seatbelt on the highway"


Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticket activities that will take place around the clock. If law enforcement finds you on the road unbuckled anytime or anywhere, you can expect to get a ticket - not a warning. No excuses and no exceptions,” said Colonel Michael Berthay, Director of the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
