Click It or Ticket campaign aimed toward 16 to 20 year old drivers shows most Garland teens are buckling-up.
Garland Police completed the week long stepped up enforcement this past Sunday. Police were not only stopping drivers who did not buckled-up but also some who were properly wearing their seatbelt. Those not buckled-up got a ticket, those who were, were thanked for obeying the law and given a key chain furnished by the State of Texas.
Citation results for Garland;
358 - No Seatbelt
14 - No Child Restraints
32 - Ages 16-20 No seatbelt
12 - Speeding
8 - Ran red light
218 - Other violations
22- Arrests
The Click It or Ticket campaign is a statewide law enforcement effort seeking compliance for the proper safety belt buckling of everyone when riding in a vehicle. Statistics continue to show injuries are less severe, and deaths less likely when properly seat belted in during a car crash. The City of Garland continues to have one of the highest compliance rates for wearing seat belts in Texas.
Thank you for
BUCKLING-UP
