Click-It or Ticket Enforcement Campaign Starts Today

Over the past year in Delaware, 39 percent of people that were killed in crashes were not wearing a seatbelt, according to Kimberly Chesser, Director of the Delaware Office of Highway Safety.
Beginning today, the Click it or Ticket Campaign gets underway in Delaware, which will continue until June 9th with high visibility enforcement to ensure that vehicle drivers and passengers are buckled up.

This year’s Click it or Ticket enforcement in Delaware is from today to June 9th.

Earlier post:
The Delaware Office of Highway Safety is reminding you to buckle up and the Click-it or ticket enforcement campaign is about to get underway. OHS is partnering with local and state police to conduct high-visibility enforcement from May 15th to June 9th, as a part of the national effort by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to the NHTSA, 57 percent of passenger vehicle occupants killed at night (6:00 p.m. – 5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts. That’s why one focus of the Click It or Ticket campaign is nighttime enforcement.
