This Thanksgiving holiday, Arkansas law enforcement is teaming up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the State’s Highway Safety Office on a high-visibility Click It or Ticket seat belt awareness and enforcement campaign.
From Nov. 25 through Dec. 1, Arkansas State Police Troopers, sheriff’s deputies and local police officers will be working together to reduce the number of fatalities that occur when motor vehicle passengers fail to buckle up by enforcing the state’s safety belt laws.
During the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in 2022, there were 326 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes across the nation, and 43% (141) were unrestrained.
Officials say these deaths represent needless tragedies for families across America and may have been prevented with the simple click of a seat belt.
This Thanksgiving, and every day of the year, remember: Click It or Ticket.”
