At least over the last couple of years, the aggressive 'Click It or Ticket' campaign has involved nearly every law enforcement agency in the state, from the state police right down to the smaller departments, and I think with that aggressive enforcement and an increase in the public service announcements, it's making people more aware of the benefits of seat belts. |
People look forward to the signs. I think it's effective, any little reminder to buckle up, it's one more thing to help them remember. |
There is documentation that wearing a seat belt reduces injuries from 55 to 65 percent. The one thing we are seeing is the severity of injuries has been decreasing, which we assume is the result of people wearing their seat belts. |
