Extra enforcement focus on seat belt law |
|
May 19, 2014 |
More than 75 Idaho law enforcement agencies will
participate in a high-visibility mobilization
effort with officers dedicating extra hours to
educate citizens and to strictly enforce the
state’s safety restraint law during the 14-day
period that includes Memorial Day. This
campaign begins today, May 19, and runs through
the first of June.
“Nearly eight out of ten Idahoans are buckling
up because it’s the single most effective thing
you can do to protect yourself in a crash. And,
it’s the right thing to do for your family and
community,” said Sherry Jenkins, with ITD’s
Office of Highway Safety. “Failing to wear a
seat belt puts you and your passengers at risk
for serious injury or death.”
State law requires all vehicle occupants to be
properly restrained, no matter where they are
seated. |
