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.

A new federal requirement for vehicle recall notices aims to make it easier for consumers to identify these important mailings.  The Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to display a safety recall label on envelopes of notification letters.

The new label is designed to make it easy for consumers to quickly recognize all recall notices for their vehicles, child restraints, tires, or other motor vehicle equipment.  The intention is to help consumers act quickly and address essential safety issues early on. 

They have also developed a new app called Android SaferCar app.  There is an iOs version for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.  This app provides users with free access to key safety information, including recalls and safety performance.  The agency says that this app aims to make it easier for consumers to submit complaints regarding vehicle safety issues.
