Click It or Ticket enforcement period begins

Seat belts save lives and are the single most effective way to prevent injury and death in a motor vehicle crash.  Law enforcement across the state will have extra patrols from November 1 through December 12 for the Click It or Ticket campaign enforcing the state seat belt law.

Preliminary data in 2019 indicates of the fatalities that have been seat belt eligible, 52% were not wearing it.

All vehicle occupants should take personal responsibility when traveling and always buckle up. Every trip. Every time.  

“One thing you are able to control when you are traveling is the ability to buckle up,” says Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner. “Since you never know what will happen, protect yourself right away and buckle up as soon as you get into the vehicle.”

This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
