Nevada law enforcement steps up 'click it or ticket' seatbelt patrol efforts through Nov. 30
The Nevada State Police and other statewide law enforcement agencies will join forces for seatbelt safety enforcement, known as "Click it or Ticket," now through Nov. 30, 2022.
The "Click It or Ticket" campaign aims to increase law enforcement participation by coordinating highly visible patrols across the State of Nevada looking for seatbelt violations and educating the motoring public about seat belts and how significant they are during a vehicle crash.
As of October 2022, Nevada has had 315 fatalities, 67 of those being unrestrained motorists. That’s 67 lives that could possibly be alive today if they would have been restrained.
According to the National Highway Traffic & Safety (NHTSA) in 2017, there were a total of 10,076 unrestrained passengers and drivers who were killed in crashes in the United States.
In that same year, 55 percent of the vehicle occupants were killed at nighttime not wearing their seatbelts. Law Enforcement agencies will be taking a no excuse approach to seat belt enforcement and will be issuing citations throughout the day and night.
The Nevada State Police, Highway Patrol remains dedicated to bringing the number of fatalities on our roadways to zero through increasing public awareness about the dangers of speeding, driving unrestrained, impaired driving, reckless driving and more.
