LETTER TO THE EDITOR: BUCKLE-UP, NIGHT & DAY IF YOU DON’T CLICK IT, EXPECT A TICKET!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: BUCKLE-UP, NIGHT & DAY IF YOU DON’T CLICK IT, EXPECT A TICKET!
It’s Click It Or Ticket time in Georgia and anyone who complains about getting a ticket for not buckling-up deserves a crash-course in road-reality, even though the numbers often seem surreal. Across the country in 2008, 13,250 lives were saved by seatbelts. What’s more the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates an additional 4,152 lives would have been saved if those passengers had just buckled-up. Despite these nearly miraculous results, nearly one-in-five Americans still fail to buckle-up regularly!

Pickup The Habit: New Law Requires Buckling Up in Trucks
SAFETY BELT LAW TO START JULY 4TH WEEKEND WITH A BANG
Georgia drivers should mark their calendars and include a reminder with their Fourth of July party invites…it’s time to buckle up in pickup trucks. By then, the new state pickup truck safety belt law will be in effect in Georgia. The new law says if you’re in a truck, buckle up. Although officers statewide will be participating in the regular May enforcement campaign of Click It or Ticket (CIOT) on Memorial Day weekend, they’ll be looking ahead to the next holiday weekend, July 4th, when they’ll be concentrating on writing tickets for all unbelted pickup truck drivers and passengers.

GEORGIA STARTS ‘SUMMER-H.E.A.T.’ CRACKDOWN ON DUI & SPEED
GEORGIA STARTS ‘SUMMER-H.E.A.T.’ CRACKDOWN ON DUI & SPEED
Summer 2010 marks the seventh consecutive season that police are rolling out waves of enforcement patrols across 159 Georgia counties to crack down on dangerous, aggressive, and high-speed drivers. The 100 Days of Summer H.E.A.T. campaign is a multi-jurisdictional highway safety enforcement strategy designed to reduce high-fatality crash-counts during Georgia’s potentially deadly holiday driving period from Memorial Day through the Fourth of July and Labor Day. H.E.A.T. stands for “Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic.”
“Waves of law enforcement patrols including police, sheriff’s deputies, State Troopers and State Motor Carrier Compliance officers will help us focus attention on the high-speed motorists, the impaired motorists, and the texting motorists who make roadways dangerous for the safe drivers of Georgia,” said Director Bob Dallas of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). “After six previous summers of this high-visibility enforcement campaign in Georgia, the “100 Days of Summer H.E.AT” now joins the buckled safetybelt on the GOHS list of proven life-saving counter-measures.”
