The Webster County Sheriff Department has received funding for May-June enforcement of the Click it or Ticket campaign through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
During this year’s national Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign, which will take place May 23 through June 5, 2022, the Webster County Sheriff Department will be teaming up with law enforcement nationwide for a Border to Border (B2B) kickoff event.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is asking all states to participate in B2B, a one-day, 4-hour national seat belt awareness event on May 23 to increase law
enforcement participation by coordinating highly visible seat belt enforcement for drivers at state border checkpoints.
According to NHTSA, in 2019, there were 9,466 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in the United States. In that same year, 55% of passenger vehicle occupants killed at night (6 p.m.–5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts. That’s why one focus of the Click It or Ticket campaign and the B2B kickoff event is nighttime enforcement. Participating
law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations both day and night. In Nebraska, the penalty for a seat belt violation is $25.00 and you increase your chance of a fatal injury by 45%!
