The Nassau County Police Department is warning motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts. The “Click It or Ticket” campaign has begun on Long Island this week and will run through June 1st.  This initiative is cracking down on drivers and passengers who fail to buckle up.

The “Click It or Ticket” campaign is an annual initiative sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It stresses the important role wearing a seat belt has on your safety. In 2012, 10,335 unbuckled vehicle occupants died in automobile accidents.  According to the state police, enforcement and education increases usage rates and makes vehicle travel safer for everyone.

New York State law mandates that all drivers, front-seat passengers, and rear-seat passengers under the age of 16, must wear seat belts.
