Crystal Lake Police Department joins Illinois ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaign to save lives
Crystal Lake, IL – The Crystal Lake Police Department is stepping up enforcement for the Memorial Day “Click It or Ticket” campaign that will run May 15 through May 26.
The department reminds motorists to buckle up for safety. The “Click It or Ticket” campaign leverages
education and enforcement to save lives.
Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, a popular time for traveling to visit family and friends.
Whether you are traveling down the block or across the country, make sure you buckle up every time.
Seat belts save lives every day, but they are only effective if they are used.
While Illinois currently has a 93% seat belt use compliance rate, unbelted occupants still account for more than half of those killed in motor vehicle crashes.
The simple click of a seat belt could save thousands of lives each year.
The “Click It or Ticket” campaign is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation with federal highway safety funds.
