WAYNESVILLE— The Waynesville Police Department will be participating in another “Click It or Ticket” campaign Nov. 18.
Nearly one in four Missourians still fail to regularly wear their seat belts when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
Among those least likely to buckle up are young males, pickup truck drivers and their passengers, people who live in rural areas and nighttime drivers.
The department will join with other law enforcement agencies for the aggressive campaign.
Failure to regularly wear a seat belt can be deadly. In 2007, a driver in a Missouri traffic crash had a 1 in 32 chance of being killed if they were not wearing a seat belt. In cases where the driver wore a seat belt, the chance of being killed was one in 1,294.
