Click or Ticket: Thanksgiving 2005 mattmontgomery  at:  11/23/2005 2:02:57 PM   CLICK IT OR TICKET--THANKSGIVING 2005 Georgia law enforcement agencies are gearing up for a wave of high-visibility safety belt checkpoints and concentrated patrol activity from Monday, November 21st through Sunday, December 4th, 2005. Georgia’s Primary Safety Belt Law allows enforcement officers to write safety belt violation tickets by simply observing an unbelted driver or passenger. The Georgia state Patrol (GSP) and Georgia DOT have released their predictions for traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities for the 2005 Thanksgiving Holiday Traffic Period. Law enforcement officers have reason for concern, because the outlook for Georgia highways is a deadly one: This year's predictions call for 13 people to die during the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Last year, the Georgia General Assembly passed legislation allowing the creation of a number of new specialty license plates. Included in the new plates suggested were 20 individual NASCAR racer plates and a Georgia Bikes! Share the Road plate. The individual plates will cost $25 with all of the money from the Georgia Bikes! plates and $14.75 of the NASCAR plates going to the Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) for use in motorist and cyclist safety, education, and awareness projects and programs.
