Aggressive mobilization in St. Peters
May 22, 2010
St. Peters, MO
St. Peters Police Department will be joining with statewide law enforcement May 24 to June 6 for an aggressive “Click It or Ticket” mobilization to crack down on Missouri’s safety belt law violators and to reduce highway fatalities.
Nearly one in four Missourians still fail to regularly wear their safety belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Seven out of ten Missourians killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled.
“Every day someone dies in a crash in Missouri because they weren’t buckled up,” said Chief Tom Bishop. “We’ll be out there to remind you seat belts can—and do—save lives.”
Chief Bishop said regular safety belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.
Buckle Up and Arrive Alive. For more information on Missouri seatbelt usage, visit www.saveMOlives.com.
