During this year’s ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaign, over 1,300 citations were issued, and for each citation handed out, it also provided an opportunity for troopers to educate the stopped drivers and passengers on the benefits of buckling up.
Despite the campaign officially ending, officials with the Wisconsin State Patrol say that seat belt safety will continue to be a top priority year-round.
Buckle up, stay safe, and protect yourself and others on the road!
